OPUS: Watershed and At-Bristol Food Residency 2016
OPUS is a live performance uniting sound, image and taste by harnessing congruent elements between them. What visuals and taste would resonate with a particular sound?Hello Hello
This blog is to mark the end of the Food Residency which was the 15th of July.
Since the wonderful showcase happened and wealth of amazing feedback, I have been lucky enough to conduct a workshop for the coffee super tasters of Extract Coffee Roasters. The workshop was a treat the team as well as a fun exercise in exploring descriptive language about flavour. We had a live musician in house and foods to savour.
The Extract Coffee Workshop:
Testing out the bone conducting gobstoppers
Trying a taste of the harp

The other day I formally concluded the residency in the At-Bristol Monday morning staff meeting where I took to the stage with the cymbal whilst the room gorges on lemons in time to the music.
Here is also a great article published by Imperica about the project:

The horizon ahead looks very exciting for OPUS and I look forward to sharing it with you.
My utmost thanks to Watershed, Pervasive Media Studio and At-Bristol.
What a fab residency it's been!
