tempting offers

The highly gestural work 'tempting offers' opens up a visceral element of the performer. Cast as a trombonist - of any dimension - the performer engages with three modes of thinking; activity with the slide, the mouth and the brain.

The title refers to a theatrical element of simultaneous conversing. The score does not detail a definitive outcome, nor a definitive means of acting. This is handed to the performer as a sort of gestural guide, allowing them to unleash a personalised element while staying within the boundaries of integrity in relation to the visual stimuli.
