Ginger In Orange. Framed

Ada St Gallery, London, March 2009
Sound Design & Visual Compoitions: Ginger In Orange. (Camilla Maling & Christin Rauter)
Dance: Camilla Maling & Carmel Morrissey
Live Music: Christin RAuter & Adrianne Wininsky

Tilt the head, change the perspective. Performance meets installation.

An old London toothbrush factory became a sonic and visual landscape for one night only. Framed was a composition of live music, dance, sound, visuals, light and costume.

The audience wandered through a collision of information – live and pre-recorded. In any given moment they played the ‘receiver’, ‘archive’ and ‘transmitter’ invited to sample the details and structure behind the glorious chaos. Improvisation performances ran three times throughout the space and DJs spun following the perforamnce.

Special guests: Tamara Hasselblatt (painting), Carmel Morrissey (performance), Amin Phillips (fahion design, DJ), Gerd Schicketanz (DJ), Bing Smith (photography, performance), Georgina Toogood (photography, graphic design, performance), Adrianne Wininsky (cello), Karola Zielinska (lighting design).

Dislocate

Sunday Surprises movingartsbase, London, September 2006
Dancing & Shooting: Camilla Maling & Amaara Raheem
Sound Design & Editing: Camilla Maling

A short dance improvisation film in collaboration with performer Amaara Raheem. Capturing movement in the city of London, where dislocation is everyday speak, this film was recorded entirely on the ultimate new media technology, a mobile phone. It combines still and moving image and found sound. The film reveals how movement is never located in just one space and how being here and also there recreates the meaning of landscape into something unfamiliar, unaccustomed.

Here’s a snippet of the film.

 

 

 

Melodic Flesh

Sunday Surprises, movingartsbase, London, May 2006 & Tapas Dance, London, April 2006
Tapas co-ordinated by Atelie - Beatriz Pascual & Kirstie Arnold
Solo Improvisation in dance and voice & sound design by Camilla Maling

We sit, we stand, we walk and what else…?

There are interlacing patterns in every given moment, dive in and capture with all your senses - venture into the music box.

This short score is part of a larger investigation into the relationship between sound and movement. It’s a matter of vibration and conversation - as sound hits the body in any given moment the body physicalizes & reconfigures our experience of sound...

The soundscape is constructed of voice & original recordings from our everyday environment.

Transit is a site-specific dance, video and sound performance installation created by choreographer and interdisciplinary artist Eleanor Dubinsky that transforms an everyday transit zone into an interactive and international art space.

Audiences experience a video landscape of large, simultaneous projections of people in transit throughout cities such as Prague, Paris, Havana, Buenos Aires and New York. Live performers play music and create dance improvisations on the spot, mixing with sound scores created by César Alvarez and Camilla Maling from sounds of subway and train stations, airports and airplanes worldwide. Transit celebrates pluralism and the present moment.

Congregation

On Tour Festival NYC Aug 2005
Choreographed by Julie Troost
Performers: Camilla Maling & Courtney King
Sound Design: Camilla Maling

Dance, physical theatre and a documentary based soundscape confront the audience with the dying days of a beloved grandmother.

As dancers explore the tragedy of love and the glorious beauty of death through movement and words, a grandmother’s voice floats about the room, the sounds of family gatherings erupt and old polka music arouses memory.

We spent weeks in the spare room of Julie’s 1960s appartment, deep in conversation about love, death and spirituality. We would move and cry and share, sometimes till the wee hours. This was a precious awakening for all of us.

The Sun is Over the Yardarm

NYC, June 2005
Choreography: by Alexx Shilling & Ann Robideau
Performance by 8 dancers including Camilla Maling
Sound Design by Camilla Maling

A site-specific dance performance aboard the Frying Pan, a salvaged lighthouse ship moored in New York’s Hudson River.

As the audience moved through the rusted interior, stories of female subjugation, love, tragedy, lonliness, the sea and ghosts were told through dance, sound and setting. All movement and recordings were made aboard the ship. In performance the ship swayed and sang to its own song as dancers and audience unravelled stories hidden in the aging iron.

Museum of Fortitude

Melbourne, August 2005
Artist: Jason Maling
Sound Design: Camilla Maling

The Fortitude Game is a disgraceful game for three players. It is a game of skill, endurance and tough choices. The winner is the first player to collect a complete kit of a single colour. Developed over ten years by Melbourne-based performance artist Jason Maling, The Fortitude Game has been performed around the world.

Museum of Fortitude was an exhibition of the history/story of The Fortitude Game. Graphite, felt, vintage equipment, & disembodied sound dove deeper into the obscure Fortitude phenomenon.

The accompanying soundscore combined documentary sound bites extracted from old videos and vintage gramaphone music used during the games

Royze.Royze

NYC, April 2005
Choreography by Alexx Shilling
Performance: Alexx Shilling & dancer
Sound design: Camilla Maling

An experimental collaboration with choreographer Alexx Shilling for a duet between herself and another dancer.

The soundscape was built entirely from a map constructed around, shapes, colours and words derived from themes of dislocation, the feminine, lucidity and the relationship between movement and sound. It incorporates voice, guitar and object based sounds with haunting Yiddish vocals. Opening night saw the sound and movement duet for the first time in an old naked warehouse on Broadway.

Drift

NYC & New Zealand, Nov 2004 - March 2005
A work created and performed by Olivia Skinner & Camilla Maling
Words by Olivia Skinner
Sound & Movement by Camilla Maling

Step inside the interview room…“How would you describe distance?”

Drift is a living documentary for stage. Through theatre, movement and sound two women tell an imaginary interviewer their experiences of distance. These stories are interwoven with those of fellow New Zealanders dealing with the same issues.

Bustling New York streets, real interviews and abstract sound worlds bring themes of immigrant/foreigner, transition and personal growth to the stage. Described as "a kind of aria, a lyrical poem“, Drift encourages audiences to indulge their senses and imaginations. Drift was featured in the New Zealand Fringe Festival in early 2005.
