Amanda Stewart

text and amplified voice

Amanda Stewart is a poet and vocalist. Her performance explodes outside text to include utterances and non-verbal implications. "Amanda Stewart's multiplied voice is all edges, plosives, throat, pssssts." Keith Gallasch, Real Time

Jim Denley

Amplified Sax and computer

An emphasis on spontaneity, site-specific creation and collaboration have been central to the work of Jim Denley. He sees no clear distinctions between his roles as instrumentalist, improviser and composer.

Jim and Amanda will also appear in duo format.

IMPRO-LAB is an ongoing series of laboratories, residencies and performances which specifically address interdisciplinary improvisation. IMPRO-LAB is concerned with the language forged in the instantaneous meeting between sound, text, music, dance and visual media. It is an open ended process of interdisciplinary exchange exploring an ecology of improvisation.

This IMPRO-LAB performance is presented in association with the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts. IMPRO-LAB is in residence at PICA during July 06.
