Frailty in Thought

We have a new project which we have been working on for some time now.
Frailty in Thoughts’ will be an evocative atmospheric interactive
exhibition incorporating light, shadow and place.
A visual narrative which invites the visitor on a journey combining art, music, and performance to create a new and dynamic immersive experience based on the French tradition of Son et Lumière.

We are focusing on traditional and folk tales, using certain
characters to explore and respond to perceptions of old age, the fears
for ourselves and our parents that may arise as we look to the future,
and the complex emotions of all those involved.

Frailty of Dreams Performance

Here is some video taken during a rehearsal and the performance.
The whole thing lasted about 10 mins but its cut it down to about 1.
We hope you enjoy it
Our first performance as Shadow Place was The Frailty of Dreams.
at St Mary at the Quay Church, Ipswich, on 26th June at 6.pm for the opening of the Key Arts Show,- Shelf Life for the IpArt Festival, Ipswich

For our performance we were joined by Wendy Rainbow. Wendy is a visual artist and folk singer. She works in paint, print and early photographic processes to produce images about the human condition.
Her current installation works combine both image and song.
