Sound becomes tactile, movement audible, as cello strings augment into an expanded vibrating web.
Nornir
Live cello, resonating strings and movement interweave in a web of shimmering vibration in Nornir, a new multi-disciplinary work by cellist and composer Freya Schack-Arnott in collaboration with Trá Mi Dinh (dancer/choreographer) and Tilman Robinson (sound artist/engineer).
In a bold evolution of Schack-Arnott’s experimental and creative practice, the cello is augmented and expanded in space as the audience is taken on a visceral journey of disentangling and re-threading relationships.
Informed by stories of weaving, binding and restricting (transformation), Nornir will explore and reshape our relationship to the cello, the body and to sound.
