Replaying the Tape: Poetry, Percussion, and Paleontology

‘Replaying the Tape’ is an interdisciplinary collaboration between three women practitioners: New-York based composer Dr. Jane Boxall, paleontologist Dr. Frankie Dunn, and poet Penny Boxall. In a one night live performance the trio will conjure an imaginary menagerie of animals which might have existed had the dice-throw of evolution fallen differently. Jane will provide live percussion alongside Penny’s live poetry performance. The performance will include field recordings from Dr. Dunn’s archaeological digs, tape manipulation of found sounds, and excerpts from research. The audience will be compelled to consider the role that chance plays in our own existence.
