Speak Percussion: March Static

  • The Ian Potter Centre for Performing Arts 48 Exhibition Walk Clayton, VIC, 3168 Australia (map)

March Static is an immersive site-specific mobile work for massed musicians, that reframes the marching band phenomenon as a celebration of community gathering around peace, over representations of military might.

Composed by Thomas Meadowcroft (AU/DE) and led by new music luminaries Speak Percussion, March Static brings together a mass of roaming musicians, creating a gentle spectrum of choreographed sound to envelop its listeners. The assembled musicians will move in and around the audience as they perform, reframing the performer-audience relationship while simultaneously challenging the traditional performance format of marching bands.

Presented by Monash University Performing Arts Centres, Speak Percussion and All the Queens Men.
