Aller Park Studios presents a live performance by O YAMA O - Rie Nakajima and Keiko Yamamoto draw on the folk music of Japan, mythology, everyday routines and the sublime.
About
Rie Nakajima and Aller Park Studios co-founder Keiko Yamamoto formed O YAMA O in 2014 and have since performed at venues and festivals including noshowspace, Ikon Gallery, Wysing Arts Centre, Supernormal Festival, Borealis Festival, Mayhem, allEars Festival and, most recently, BBC Late Junction Festival and Art Basel Hong Kong.
Rie’s performance uses found and kinetic objects - modest items such as rice bowls, toys, clockwork, balloons and small motors become instruments in a ‘micro orchestra’, creating a layered and immersive atmosphere. Keiko alternatively floats and charges through this with body and voice; chanting, incanting, thundering, whispering, stamping on the floor.
Aller Park Studios is a new artist-led project based at Aller Park, a building that once housed Dartington School. Evening and weekend events throughout 2019 include artist film screenings, performances, talks and workshops. Artists, writers and musicians are invited to visit and share their work in a contemporary art programme that engages with the radical, cross-disciplinary traditions of Dartington.
No booking required for this event – there will be standing room and seating on the floor.
