"Human Triptych" featuring Emma Miller

PictureMeastropants!
Human Triptych consists of three twenty minute sets with physical theatre specialist Emma Miller. 
Two works are complete in their creation and the third is being devised, so watch this space! Our work has been described as; laugh out loud, and clever.  
The works includes original humour, choreography, composition, audience participation and live art, through the creation of a canvas. 
The musicians also explore the space as theatre characters, thus are not confided to a music stand.  There is no spoken dialogue and the music and physical action work in harmony to tell the stories.  
Music Off Canvas met Emma in January 2013 and immediately propelled into an exciting creative period, premiering the first two works in April 2013 at the Macbeth in Hoxton for an evening hosted by Nonclassical and Platform33. They were then invited to perform at the MBF Emerging Excellence showcase in May 2013, at a "Finger-In-The-Pie" showcase and at the Southbank Centre for the Women of the World Festival 2014.

"Roundabout"
This work playful introduces a variety of outrageous characters and their approach to creating modern art.  Each character takes to a canvas to make their mark, delivering a sensory overload of musical treats, absurd bodies and lots of paint!
