Howtosayto, an evening of music, spoken-word, burlesque and film, is on at Bridport Arts Centre on Saturday 12 March. Curated by composer Ergo Phizmiz and prize-winning film-maker Martha Moopette, Howtosayto showcases the work of artists, writers, raconteurs, composers, and burlesque dancers.
Vulnavia Vanity will present ukulele uberpop; Master Professor of Surrealism Oblivian Substanshall gives spoken-word odysseys from the depths of Edward Lear’s oven; future-anti-pop-supergroup Angela Valid present a wordless cookbook of shatters and rattles; and Ergo Phizmiz will perform his new piece Fulcanelli’s Shoes, which includes plenty of time-travel and a picture of Simon Cowell looking like a murderer.
With Martha Moopette
The evening will also showcase some of the cream of contemporary film-making, including music videos and installations by the multi-award winning Martha Moopette, Process No 18 by Phil Lane, a Duckumentary by Alexander Jones, and the UK premiere screening of the film Slitscan Carnival by Carl Rosendahl, one of the founders of renowned animation studio Dreamworks.
Bringing out the extra spices will be burlesque dancer Amethyst Shivers. The evening will be compered by a comedy legend, the great Erik Bumbledonk, who was last seen as a suicidal, birdlike imitation of radio DJ Chris Evans.
Tickets available online at www.bridport-arts.com or from the Bridport Arts Centre box office on 01308 424204, priced £3.
