Summer has kicked in with a vengeance, but I think my summer started
this year with 'Souvenir', the Voice Project's latest contribution to
the Norwich festival, using the grand scale grounds of Holkham Hall in
Norfolk. I always try to view/hear what Sian Croose has produced, and of
late she has gone from strength to strength by focusing on making the
most of both external and internal spaces, while breaking down the usual
limits and barriers of performers on stage, audience in the auditorium.
On this occasion I attended the middle performance, which I suspect was
the most beautiful, with the benefit of the golden hour creating
magical shadows, an atmosphere that seemed to conjure up a cross between
a Seurat and a Magritte painting. The last performance in the evening
probably gave a fair challenge with sunset, dusk and twilight to
challenge the warm glow of the afternoon, but I am still happy with my
choice. Although if it had been on again the following weekend, I would
have wanted to go again, so who knows which I would have chosen then....http://voiceproject2.wordpress.com/
