Another Time directed by artist, sculptor, muscian jeff Higley, who also created the masks and cotumes is a mask dance drama with live music, exploring human relationships, ecological and environmental themes.
In this collaboration a world both ancient and mythological, yet full of contemporary concerns is brought to life through masks, music and dance.
The physical and interpretative skills of dancers Kate Pyper, Sally E Dean and mime Robert Williams are combined with the masks, costumes and direction of Jeff Higley and the extraordinary vocal and musical abilities of throat singers Michael Ormiston and Candida Valentino.
Adding the work of performance artist and experimental vocalist Barbara Keal to the mix creates a powerful fusion of darkly poetic images and sounds.
The piece was performed in Lewes, St Pancras Old Church, London and Sydenham in 2012
