Three members of Other/Other/Other will be performing (probably for the last time in its present state) ‘Longwinded in Five Parts’ on Friday 20th/Saturday 21st November. It will be programmed as part of the Royal Opera House Firsts 09 and it’s looking like we will have an audience of 400 each night…who said Live Art only attracts small audiences?!

LONGWINDED IN FIVE PARTS
OTHER/OTHER/OTHER
A live art performance in the guise of a classical concert, and an absurd exploration of sound, space and material. Three performers present a mixture of highly choreographed and improvised scenarios, led by a musical score which is designed to explore five aspects of the musical potential of modelling balloons. ‘A lighthearted triumph that had me giggling from subdued start to cathartic finish.’

‘Longwinded in Five Parts’ is supported by Norwich Arts Centre

Tickets are £5 each and are selling out fast! Go to the Royal Opera House website to book.

Here’s a short and pixellated extract of the performance, filmed on a mobile by Phil Roberts (http://www.acidplanet.com/oral_roberts/songs):

7:30pm

Saturday 25th July

As part of ‘Rub Me Up The Wrong Way 2′
