Lift Off Global Network Film Festival Los Angeles

Land Mass was selected in Spring 2022 … but sadly didn’t get beyond that. Since then Jenni has decided to make some cuts and there was a 20 minute reduction in overall length – from 68 to 48 minutes running time. The film is currently submitted to four festivals and we are waiting to hear from them over the next few months.

Calendar: LAND MASS final version, Oct 16 & 17 2021

The Final Final version of Land Mass, the music-film – is coming down the track! This is the last free showing and the fifth airing: submission to festivals begins in November. This audio on this version has been mastered by the brilliant Steve Parr which takes the music into a whole new dimension of presence. Join us for this intimate sharing of the work with friends and colleagues on zoom: […]

Recorded September 24th 2019. The Initiation of Voice Movement Therapy P.W. Voice Movement Therapy – did you enter it for your own sake as well, or did you enter it to develop as a performer? Did you enter it to open up your own emotional world? J.R. It was another crossroads. I remember having to make a decision about whether to go and teach in Greece, which would go from […]

Until a new site is ready for such a catalogue this page will be used and then readers will be redirected to a new link from this page in due course.

My friend and colleague, Alistair Smith has been an allay throughout the choirs’ project. He has blogged extensively about it, published on this site. At one concert (March 8th 2019) he moved into poetry in order to capture his responses. They are such good poems I reproduce them here, with his kind permission. Some have titles, as we presented new versions of tracks from our double EP ‘Landmass,’ recorded in […]
