Expanded Performance Fellow Harry Silverlock reflects on his Fellowship so far and questions whether this 'new normal' we find ourselves in is here to stay when developing new ideas.
Everything is Music is a network of location based experiences built around newly commissioned pieces, unheard archival works and classic material forming an immersive journey through the musical history of Bristol and Bath. We want audiences to find a level of delight and curiosity through our project – engaging with something tangibly explorable and understanding the cultural fabric of the city through physical locations.

Over the last two decades, much of the information we’ve developed for Bristol has been expressed through static on-street information and printed maps, but there has long been a vision to update and ‘digitise’ the mapping resources developed specifically for this city as a mapping platform and to explore opportunities for showing hyper-local city information that you can access 24/7 on your mobile, tablet and desktop devices.
We began the Expanded Performance Pathfinder a couple of weeks ago with our first workshop on zoom. I thought it was important to start the first workshop by returning to the theme, Expanded Performance, and I will do the same here. This is the thread that ties all of our questions and research together in a chaotic, knotty and interesting way. We’re exploring theatre, dance, live music and technology.
