Description

Rufus: It’s a Gong Show

(or, Rufus & The Travelling Gong Show)

 

Dancer……Kathryn Ricketts | Sound Artist / Gong Player……Stacey Bliss

Sustainable Stage Provided by the Faculty of MAP

 

Rufus, one of three of the characters belong to Ricketts is steeped in what we may identify as failure but with further interrogation we understand that Rufus invites us into the fertile place of the unexpected, the unplanned and the unintended. 

Bliss, with her haunting resonances through gong and bowls, will work in dialogue with Ricketts both following and provoking poetic and moving impulses. These moments of improvisation are playfully probing and bittersweet in nature and leave us with a sense that risk is not only possible but necessary.

The performance is presented on a small sustainable stage harkening a caravan like transience akin to Rufus as a character that is forever seeking and the gong as forever travelling / resonating. Have gong will travel!

This 15-minute performance is followed by a 15-minute talk back with audience facilitated by Ann Kipling-Brown.

This production was made possible by On Cue Production Hub & Humanities Research Institute (HRI) at the University of Regina.

COVID-19 Precautions:

  • Masks are encouraged, per University policy.
  • Social distancing will be observed as much as possible.
