CAMOUFLAGE
Camouflage aims to:
- Support the local jazz/creative and free improvisation music scene
- Engage with and encourage developing art and artists
- Provide an interactive performance event that encourages audiences to document the process through drawing, writing, photography and film and so on in a relaxed environment
- Present new and original music through an emerging network of specialist national promoters supporting touring bands and musicians.
- Provide a web-based forum for sharing music, live recordings and various forms of creative documents and responses to the programme.
Camouflage is an event embracing performance, interaction, celebration and documentation of creative making processes. We see the space between performer and audience as permeable, even fluid, and the activity contributes to an ongoing dialogue about understanding. In that sense each event contributes to a broader documentary space capturing the dynamics of the conversation through music, drawing, painting, spoken and written word, photography, film…….
