This performance is the final night of a national tour.
Sit, Sit is a one-hour show of everyday actions framed as music. We have curated an evening of performances by composers from around the world, plus a new piece made by us, Second Company.
From the rhythmicised, highly tactile, gestural elements of Winnie Huang’s Tentacles, to James O’Callaghan’s ode to books, a “proposition” by Alison Knowles, and Marcus Jackson’s employment of the seemingly obnoxious referee’s whistle as an expression of detailed beauty and careful delicacy, Sit, Sit is a show that contemplates the banal and uncovers delight.
In our own work, co-created through casual and philosophical conversation, interrogatory devising methods, and rigorous, detailed composition, we involve speech/song, movement/dance, gesture/theatre as musical materiality, and explore concepts of distance and communication. Comprised of various attempts to bridge a distance, our efforts will be clear: between us is a horizon, and this is the music of that horizon.
We formed Second Company to provide a platform for post-instrumental music and composed theatre in Aotearoa, and hope you enjoy this first offering!
