Wireless Graffiti goes live from the Vancouver East Cultural Centre
VANCOUVER - On June 8 and 22, over 30 performers and artists will conspire together to create visual Radio with two special live broadcasts hosted by the Vancouver East Cultural Centre. Rumble Productions, Vancouver Pro Musica and Vancouver Co-operative Radio (102.7 fm) join forces in a rediscovery of an "old and familiar" medium- RADIO.
Playwright Gordon Armstrong, directors Andrew McIlroy and Diane Brown, actor Ian McDonald and comedian Gina Bastone will join photographer Daniel Collins, interdisciplinary specialist Stephen O'Connell, choreographers Jennifer Mascall and Andrew Olewine to test the limits of broadcasting.
Radio regulars Hank Bull and Patrick Ready from the Western Front's HP Radio Show will bring over ten years experience in alternative Radio. Meanwhile established Vancouver new music composers Hidegard Westercamp, Susan Frykberg, and Mark Douglas will activate a new sonic language, thus adding to our experience of Radio.
Those attending the Cultch will bask in the Radio Hall atmosphere - allowed behind the Wizard's curtain- as intimate witnesses to the unfolding broadcast. Simultaneously, CO-OP Radio listeners in Vancouver and throughout BC will lean intently towards their receivers imagining the source of the transmission and the world of Wireless Graffiti.
June 8 and 22. Doors at 8pm. Live to air from 9-11 pm.
Tickets $12 ($10)
THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF RADIO WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
