This event (Carousel) could either be utterly sublime or pretentious crap. As someone who used to run the infamous ‘Live Strip Poetry’ in Liverpool, I have to say though this is right up my street and I hope its a roaring success. Go on dig out a story and get involved. I dares you:
‘Perform your own 6 minute short or photographic project or just sit back and enjoy the mix as Foto8′s Jon Levy lines guest projectionists as they combine slide shows, film, music and live performance along with audience participation:
“Photography is communication, and the strength of images lies in the messages they can convey to their audience. Our Carousel evenings combine film, photography, typography, the spoken word, music and sound to create a truly multi-discipline, creative environment for experiencing new works by photographers, designers and the new generation of media producers. Using any means necessary to tell the story, Carousel will throw out the rulebook, open up the box, and provide a platform for documentary makers from all walks of life to share their most creative works and reach their audience.”
