Composers and Constructors, the Snake and Segovia

This weekend was spent writing songs and stories, and making a base structure for our traveling set. The set comes apart quite easily and can be carried under one arm or fit snugly into a suitcase corner. It took many more hours than expected to build this one- but we suppose that's what happens when function marries form and then takes a honeymoon in Europe with one suitcase. Three new songs were composed and now await words and imagery. More sneak peaks to come...

The Cactus Duet Tour

In November, we will be undertaking a four-country tour, performing the newest iteration of  The Cactus Duet. We will be designing the performance set so that it fits into a suitcase and can be put together on site. On the same trip, we are leading a workshop at Funen Academy of Fine Arts in Odense, Denmark, called Nomad as Art. In the workshop, students will be asked to make a formal or functional artwork that explores the history and ideology of nomadism. We are excited to develop and undertake our own "nomadic artwork" at the same time. Visit back for some in-process photos of the work and the tour dates and venues!
