On 13th September 2013 at either 6pm or 8pm join us at Phoenix Brighton for a stunning performance by Grist to the Mill taking you on a journey through a sequence of realities heightened by art, imagination and madness and combining cutting edge digital video mapping and projection techniques with puppetry, live painting, UV, and animation.
Enter The Baron’s Art School where a drawing class is just beginning. Make your drawing and then let the performance take you on a journey through a sequence of realities heightened by art, imagination and madness. Using puppetry, live painting, UV, animation and cutting edge digital video mapping and projection techniques, we will invoke Christina the Astonishing (Patron Saint of the Insane) who brings enlightenment to everyone and takes us safely back to the artists studio.
The Baron’s Art School is a unique collaboration between puppeteer Isobel Smith (Grist to the Mill) and artist performer The Baron Gilvan, aka Chris Gilvan-Cartwright. The project began with support from Little Angel Theatre’s Incubate program for professional puppeteers and has been performed at The Cabin, Brighton, Towner Museum of Art, Eastbourne and Jerwood Gallery, Hastings. The video mapping techniques used are in collaboration with Alex May using his “Painting with Light” software.
