HANDS ON!

Book tickets

Event details

I don’t think we pay enough attention to touch in music: to how sound feels, via touch.

Hands On is a playful piano performance all about touch: the important nuances of touch, especially for the wonderful resonances of piano music, but also for how playing and listening to music touches us.

 I know the air is being touched by the sound, and the sound is touching the palms and the fingers

Devised and performed by pianist Catherine Laws, with theatre maker Teresa Brayshaw and composers Nicholas Brown, Damien Harron, Jenn Kirby, and Lynette Quek. With additional music by Ruth Crawford Seeger.

 Sometimes I see her reaching for the place that will interfere,

or the place that will resonate,

or the place that will vibrate.

Eyes closed; hearing through touch.
