Cailleach Mhòr Stadhlaigh
Evie Waddell
‘S e co-obrachadh dlùth a th’ ann an Cailleach Mhòr Staighlaidh leis an drumair/ionnsramaid à Innis Tìle, Signy Jakobsdottir. Tha e a’ cur cudrom teicneòlach air a bhith a’ rannsachadh, ag ath-chruthachadh agus ag ath-obrachadh phuirt a beul le bhith ag ath-chruthachadh cleachdadh briathrachais còmhla ri cnag-bhualadh agus dannsa-ceum gus dòigh-labhairt gu tur ùr a chruthachadh a bhios a’ measgachadh BSL, crith agus còmhradh ruitheamach ri chèile gus cruth traidiseanta ùr a dhèanamh ( a tha cuideachd nas ruigsinniche do dhaoine bodhar.)
Cailleach Mhor Staighlaidh’ is an intimate collaboration with Icelandic drummer/instrumentalist Signy Jakobsdottir. It focusses technically on an exploration, deconstruction and reworking of puirt a beul by reconstructing the use of vocables combined with percussion and step dance to create a whole new form of expression which melds BSL, vibration and rhythmic dialogue together to make a new traditional form (which is also more accessible also to deaf people.)
