WHEN Saturday 14:00-20:00
WHERE Rutherford Cloisters, Rooms 15-21
Free Range is an award winning series of experimental music, film and poetry events that take place in Canterbury every week from October to March. Since it began in 2012 Free Range have set up a record label, started a radio show and presented 125 events involving 531 artists, all with a policy of free entry. Free Range City is a one-day retrospective festival featuring a concentrated burst of overlapping and simultaneous performances, screenings and installations. The Rutherford Cloisters are reimagined as a creative utopia populated by poets, musicians, filmmakers and dancers that have performed at Free Range.
Visit the ‘council offices’, the ‘concert room’ or the ‘abattoir’ and see internationally established pioneers of improvisation such as Evan Parker and AMM (John Tilbury, Eddie Prevost) alongside an array of musicians, poets, filmmakers, dancers, a mathematician and an 80’s rockstar. Wandering minstrels and street performers roam Free Range City dropping into the ‘cinema’ or the ‘disco’ for impromptu collaborative performances and occasionally gathering in the streets for spontaneous improvised interludes.
Artists will include: Evan Parker (saxophone), AMM (John Tilbury – piano / Eddie Prevost – percussion), SLAP (Tina Krasevec – dance / David Leahy – dance & double bass / Tom Jackson – bass clarinet / Sam Bailey – piano), Will Guthrie (drums & percussion), Matt Wright (turntables, electronics), Alison Blunt (violin), Professor Raphael Appleblossom (maths), Ben Rowley (live film editing), Jack Hues & the Quartet (Jack Hues – voice & guitar / Mark Holub – drums / Liran Donin – double bass / Sam Bailey – keyboard)
