作曲家／イギリス・コーンウォール
Amy (Mimi) Lawrence is a non-binary performance artist and composer from Cornwall in the UK. They have released music with Prah Recordings (London), EM Records (Osaka) and Circle Dance Recordings (London). They perform as The Worm, a combination of fantasy, history, and surrealism in the form of music and movement. They have a band called Goblet who play recorder pieces accompanied by speculative short stories and plays. They have also created scores for art and dance films such as Gocki Lorden (Bunny Ladd), Dowr Tamar (Sam Bestwick) and Baggage (Nathan Lafayette). Their work contains storytelling, movement and practical effects such as costume and props. Their compositions often include medieval instruments and sparse, sometimes comedic arrangements. They have been in residence at Britten Pears Arts, Gwithian Chapel and Prah Foundation. Mimi works out of a small shack-like studio at Trevone Quarry in Cornwall.
Proposal
At MiSHO Amy plans to experiment with choreography using a puppet, write music, and record some existing compositions. They will perform a sharing of their progress in one of the spaces in the residency or in the local nature.
