Film Screenings and Meet The Artists Discussion

A series of short films followed by a Q&A session with the artists.

Films include:

Harmonic Spectrum

A film about Edinburgh-based pianist Sean Logan, produced and directed by Austen McCowan & Will Hewitt.

In Harmonic Spectrum Sean shares how the piano helps him to navigate life and collaborate musically.

Glitch

A new film by Andrew Robertson.

I am born in a world where everything is normal. And I don’t even like the word ‘normal’, or even, ‘reality’.

Free Improvisation

This film by Sonic Bothy captures their live set from Tusk Festival, Sage Gateshead in October 2019. The ensemble plays a free improvisation - a completely unfixed piece, played in the moment, with no pre-composed or pre-arranged elements of the music.

The musicians involved are Adam Green, Allan Wright, Andrew Robertson, Ali Robertson, Claire Docherty, Sonia Allori, Nichola Scrutton.

Accessibility

NEUROSTAGES is a Relaxed Festival. This means that it takes the approach of Relaxed Performance across all festival activity, both in-person and online.

Relaxed Performances were created to make watching performance more accessible by ‘relaxing’ the usual rules of theatre etiquette – they allow for noise and movement from the audience, as well as tailoring light and sound for those with sensory sensitivities.

All live events will be wheelchair accessible.

All online events will be captioned.

BSL for live and online events to be confirmed.

There will be an option of high sensory or low sensory dedicated chillout spaces at CCA.

An easy to read festival guide, audio introduction, visual guide and printable programme for the CCA will also be made available.
