This event was on Sat 20 Jul 2019. Performances at 6pm, 7.30pm, 9pm (duration 10 mins)

In dialogue with Helen Cammock’s film Che si può fare (What can be done), artist and composer Elaine Mitchener presents a new performance work, drawing inspiration from In Darkness Let Me Dwell (1610) by lutenist and composer John Dowland as a starting point. Cammock’s film looks at the histories of lament, particularly through the lens of female composers. Mitchener’s performance traces this across genres, combining live solo and pre-recorded multiple voices.
