Bonemap  Bridge Song

In the shadow of the Story Bridge, the performance space at the Judith
Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts is to provide a setting for a new
artistic collaboration Bridge Song between creative intermedia artists
Bonemap and live sonic artists Clocked Out Duo on the 12-14 June, 2003.

Intimate, thoughtful and engaging, Bridge Song leads us on a journey across
bridges through the lens of urban and environmental ecology. As a live art
work Bridge Song illustrates the fragile interrelationship between our
humanity and our environs. It reveals visual and aural impressions rendering
and politicising the links between a body and its surround. Through the
metaphor of Brisbane's Story Bridge a solitary figure explores both the hard
surfaces of our built environment and the soft subconscious layers and
textures of existence represented by the river.

The new performance work will introduce production designer/director Russell
Milledge, choreographer/performer Rebecca Youdell, and the toy instruments &
percussion kinetics of Erik Griswold and Vanessa Tomlinson to Brisbane.
Together the artists explore awareness of environmental sensitivity through
performative metaphors of the 'bridge'.

Milledge's ability to craft images and objects and Youdell's idiosyncratic
movement sensibility produces an experiential space which fosters a rich
creative dialogue with Griswold's and Tomlinson's playful and imaginative
sound world.

Each night - dance, performance art, live music and projection/new media
design, provide the artists with images and sounds that provoke and delight
our "out-of-awareness" perceptions of time and place. Bridge Song uses the
unique qualities of mediated and live performance - the virtual and the
visceral, to extend the potential layers of audience empathy and engagement.
