MAY OR MAY NOT CONTAIN
ACTUAL DRUMMING
------------------------------------------
Rumble Productions is pleased to announce the premiere of Andreas Kahre's multidisciplinary work A Concise History of Drumming. Acclaimed in its workshop performances across Canada, the piece is a playful and melancholy journey through the percussionist's mind. Cultural commentary! Invented history (spans 500,000 years)! Shadowplays and slides, rowing machines and green leaf lettuce all play a mysterious part.
A Concise History of Drumming will be performed by Norman Armour, Diane Brown and David Garfinkle, three of Vancouver's most accomplished and eclectic theatre artists and interdisciplinary performers. Toronto-based director Chris Gerrard Pinker has been responsible for some of Rumble Productions finest work, including The Company Project, Manipulations, and Two Small Bodies. A former associate director with Theatre Passe Muraille, Gerrard-Pinker has directed theatre, video and collaborated with choreographers across Canada, including Tom Stroud's Broken Symmetry and Susan McKenzie's recent Sleeping Dogs Lie.
Andreas Kahre is one of Vancouver's most versatile interdisciplinary artists whose work combines visual art, music, writing, and the design of icebreakers. Kahre has collaborated with many different artists and companies in music, dance, film and theatre, including Cymbali, Dancecorps, Jumpstart, EDAM, and Francois Houle. He is an associate artist with Rumble Productions.
A Concise History of Drumming comes hot on the heels of this spring's much talked about Wireless Graffiti and promises to be the latest in Rumble's season of alarming and challenging works that have stretched the boundaries of theatre, spectacle, and the creation of new Canadian work.
