This is Siren, a sound art/performance installation by British artist Ray Lee.  For a great idea of how cool it looks and sounds watch this video.

Children's Choice Awards, awards handed out by a group of elementary school kids from Surrey. They get ferried around to all the performances and sure enough, they turned up at Siren. The kids enjoyed almost getting their heads lopped off by whirling loudspeakers, bobbing around to distort the sound and pulsing their fingers over their ears. I think this one was a hit.

The last performances of Siren are on January 24th at 4, 7 and 8:30.

I found it quite hypnotic

I found it quite hypnotic andf meditative - to that end it's true that somewhere to sit or recline would have helped.

I found this performance

I found this performance cerebral and almost totally non-engaging. I was about to leave when I became bored and then suddenly there was colour--a bright red colour--and this stopped me in my tracks. Suddenly there was something engaging and elegant about the movement of the coloured light. And then I lost interest again. And left.
Part of the problem as a member of the audience is that the piece required that one stand for a long time on a hard floor (there was no seating in the room unless you chose to sit on the floor). So no relaxation of the body, no engagement of the body--an almost totally cerebral experience.

Marionettes

I don't think I'm going to make it to Billy Twinkle although I've heard it highly recommended. Has anyone been to this?

PuSH the envelope!

Hi Kris,

It's a pleasure to read your relaxed, informed reviews. Since I'm sick and likely won't make it to [m]any PuSH events, at least this way I can enjoy them through you. Please tell me you're going to see Ronnie's marionnette show. And I'm looking forward to your reviews of the short musicals.

:D
