Of Riders and Running Horses

As part of Birmingham Weekender running from the 25th-27th of September, Fierce Festival and the mac Birmingham have joined forces to bring you Of Riders and Running Horses (by Bristol-based Still House).  This outdoor dance piece features music from a live band and is performed in a secret city-centre location, with the backdrop of the fading sun.

OF RIDERS AND RUNNING HORSES-2

“Night. We find a space in the margins of the city in which to gather: to start an ad hoc ceremony, to stamp our feet and shake our limbs, to dance in the face of an ending.” (www.stillhouse.co.uk)

 

Club Fierce continues to develop its relationship with contemporary music this year presenting dance intervention, interaction and observing the intrinsic link between music and the body.

Miguel Gutierrez – Deep Aerobics

Saturday 10th October @ The Old Print Works

We Must! We Must! We Must! Increase Our Bust! Deep Aerobics is an interactive spectacle that blurs the lines between a workout and an explosion. The attire of choice is completely your own (go beyond the 80’s people!) but anything that absorbs sweat is probably a good idea. Miguel Gutierrez is doing his best to ruin you, and you will enjoy it.

 

 

Sarah Farina

Saturday 10th October

Referred to often as a tastemaker for Berlin’s underground bass scene, Sarah Farina will be spinning what she herself refers to as “rainbow bass” at Fierce 2015.  Often progressive, her genre-hopping style has led her to  play with the likes of Tikiman and the legendary Dave Rodigan. Farina is respected by true music heads worldwide; listen to her soundcloud, you’ll see why.

A hardware sensation and a wiring marvel … for any music lovers interested in technical DJ performance, Korg accessories, drum machines and midi keyboards: Anklepants. When words fail, there is always Youtube.

Davis Freeman invites us to live out our subconscious (or not so subconscious) superstar fantasies vicariously through Karaoke in this interactive video performance. Audience are invited to belt out one of the many popular classics to a collection of stunning artist films produced especially for the project.  Sing Sweet Dreams to a video made by a Turner Prize winning artist. Karaoke (ART) is the final billed performance of the Fierce 2015 festival, a celebration, an observation, a subversion of expectations of a familiar structure and above all, a whole lot of fun!
