Granjon has collaborated with a local choreographer, Douglas Comley, and a 20-strong company of dancers to create a percussive choreography for the bridge, the dancer\u2019s motions and rhythms \u2018playing\u2019 the bridge as if it were a percussive musical instrument.<\/p>\n<p>The various surfaces of the bridge are activated by the dancers equipped with modi\ufb01ed rubber mallets and wearing shoes \ufb01tted with steel plates. Their choreographed motions explore the acoustic quality of the largely metallic structure, creating a spatial sound-scape that reveals the musicality of the bridge.<\/p>\n<p>The performance is the opening event for Locws International and filmed documentation can be seen within the Locws Information Hub at the National Waterfront Museum.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/artworks\/granjon\/granjon30.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/artworks\/granjon\/granjon37.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/artworks\/granjon\/granjon39.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sail Bridge Music Action<br \/>\nRiver Tawe Sail Bridge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12993,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[412],"portfolio_tag":[],"class_list":["post-6814","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-artists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/6814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6814"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/6814\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12994,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/6814\/revisions\/12994"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fportfolio_category&post=6814"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fportfolio_tag&post=6814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
