Description

In her Fringe debut, outstanding choreographer Katie Armstrong presents SKETCHES/GLISK as part of the Made in Scotland Showcase. This impressive double bill created in collaboration with multi award-winning composer and DJ Mariam Rezaei, features a string quintet, DJ and four dancers. Described as a 'brilliantly bizarre... beautiful whirlwind', SKETCHES is a quirky reimagining of Bach's famous Violin Concerto in A Minor. Encompassing experimental turntablism, acoustic piano, dance and visual art, GLISK is a work inspired by the dramatic landscapes around Aberdeen and the North East. This show has been programmed by Dance Base in collaboration with Assembly. MadeinScotlandShowcase.com
