) Gizza Hoon Director/choreographer: Brigid Costello<br /> Composer: Tane Upjohn-Beatson at BATS - Out Of Site - Cnr Cuba & Dixon, Wellington From 8 Mar 2013 to 16 Mar 2013 [1 hour] Reviewed by Ann Hunt, 12 Mar 2013 originally published in The Dominion Post |
In Gizza Hoon director Brigid Costello and composer/sound designer Tane Upjohn-Beatson give us their response to pop music in 2013.
Inspired by the YouTube generation and late-night Courtenay Place antics they explore the relationship between commercial pop and young Kiwis' social interaction. It's funny, frenetic and in your face.
On an empty stage, designers Robin Aitken and Alex Keegan have hung three long rectangular lanterns which are manipulated up, down and around by a dancer at the side of the stage. Bright lights illuminate them and the dancers can clamber inside as well. [More]
