Yesterday I performed at the Bread and Water Theatre Music and Arts Fair in Rochester, NY.
I used the small almost rained out event as a chance to try performing in mask for the first time. In London I took some mask classes with Wendy Allnut at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and a one-on-one tutorial with Niamh McKernan. Many Saturday mornings found me in a studio experimenting with masks and exploring the topic of composition with mask, instrument, and performer in mind. I composed two short pieces for solo cello (one performer as cellist and actor) and mask.
At the fair last night I performed the second of these works, one I wrote for a mask I call 'Green Joker Man'. I also performed the third Bach Suite in an unrelated mask.
