 \nPROGRAMME\n\n 	Programme to include:\n 	\n 	Riley : In C\, 60’\n 	\n
 \n\n\nThis is not a concert\, this is a happening.\n\nBirmingham welcomes 
 the return of The British Paraorchestra\, this time collaborating with int
 egrated circus company Extraordinary Bodies and with a line up including 
 special guest artists Portishead’s Adrian Utley and Goldfrapp’s Will G
 regory. With semi-improvised movement\, aerial flying and physical theatr
 e\, Terry Riley’s minimalist masterpiece In C is reimagined as the uni
 que union of two very different disciplines. Extraordinary Bodies take cue
 s from Riley’s impulsive and slow-morphing cornerstone minimalist compos
 ition\, resulting in a hypnotic showcase of physical and mental dexterity.
  The combined effect will be cathartic\, uplifting and engulfing – the a
 ural equivalent to climbing inside a giant lava lamp.\n\nIn C will be perf
 ormed in the round\; coupled with the semi-improvised nature of the piece\
 , and the evolutionary performance of Riley’s score\, no two audiences
 ’ experiences are ever the same.\n\nIn C will be audio described.\n\nPro
 duced by The Paraorchestra and Friends in collaboration with Extraordinary
  Bodies\n\nAbout Terry Riley’s In C Terry Riley is one of the greatest
  living composers of classical music. In 1964 he composed the now iconic 
 In C\, consisting of 53 short repeated melodies in C major. How often each
  melody is repeated\, or how coloured or intensified\, is completely the c
 hoice of each individual player. But each player also has responsibility t
 o the whole\, ensuring they are never more than three melodies behind or a
 head of any other member of the ensemble. It is all about listening\, prop
 osing\, reacting. As such\, from its creation\, In C has caused a quiet 
 revolution in music making\, the promotion of a new musical philosophy whi
 ch is not about top-down control\, or a pre-determined narrative\; there a
 re rules\, yes\, but they lie in the hands of the instrumentalists.\n\nAbo
 ut The British Paraorchestra The world’s first large-scale professional
  ensemble of disabled musicians\, this ground-breaking group headed up by 
 a genuine pioneer and innovator in the world of classical music Charles Ha
 zlewood\, is changing perceptions of what a 21st-century orchestra should 
 be.\n\nAbout Extraordinary Bodies Extraordinary Bodies is the UK's leadin
 g professional integrated circus company. They create bold\, radical and j
 oyous performance and aim to increase awareness\, capacity and leadership 
 for integrated arts practice nationally. Extraordinary Bodies is a boundar
 y-breaking collaboration between leading showmakers Cirque Bijou and leadi
 ng arts and diversity practitioners Diverse City.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/dniK
