New Music-Theatre
Writ­ten and Directed by Neil Luck
Per­formed by ARCO

Her­ak­les! Is a new piece of music-theatre draw­ing on an eclec­tic range of influ­ences from con­tem­po­rary clas­si­cal music, con­crete poetry, slap­stick com­edy, free impro­vi­sa­tion, Kabuki the­atre and Broad­way show­stop­pers, fil­tered through the highly idio­syn­cratic and avant-garde texts of Richard Foreman.

New squib-box release: Songs from Badly-Lit Rooms

squib-box are proud to present Songs from Badly-Lit Rooms. This col­lec­tion of impro­vi­sa­tions, recorded over 2011 and 2012, are the result of a long­stand­ing musi­cal part­ner­ship between squib-artists Tom Jack­son and Bene­dict Tay­lor.

Part wild and unbri­dled, part del­i­cate and poised, these remark­able per­for­mances cap­ture a par­tic­u­larly intu­itive and inti­mate dia­logue between two active mem­bers of the free improv scene.
