In conversation with Elaine Mitchener
“Honouring the experiment”

“With every performance I’m searching for a totality of expression, to fully unify and amplify the musical, physical, emotional, and political aspects of each work.”

SWEET TOOTH at Borealis, Bergen – Norway

Robert Barry

“With a harrowingly physical performance from Mitchener, tightly woven displays of virtuosity from the group, and little more than the highly evocative lighting to set the scene, it is like watching an exorcism: the demon cast out is history.”

Elaine Mitchener is invited to present some of her work as part of British Art Show 9

Following the cancellation of the 2020 festival, Elaine was invited to contribute to Holland Festival online edition

5 Questions to Elaine Mitchener

Amanda Cook

“SWEET TOOTH is sonically immersive and experimental in its improvisatory approaches, referencing Kumani singing and sea shanties. It is an intense experience for the players and observers.”
