Outskirts festival announces 2016 line-up
The initial line-up for this year's Outskirts multi-arts festival at Platform in Glasgow has been announced.
In music, Scottish Album of the Year award winner Kathryn Joseph teams up with The Twilight Sad frontman James Graham to perform newly-written material, alongside longtime Joseph collaborator Marcus Mackay. Elsewhere, composer and pianist Matthew Bourne performs his new album moogmemory, and jazz duo Herschel 36 perform their new score for ground-breaking German silent film Wunder der Schöpfung following its premiere at next month's Hippodrome Festival of Silent Cinema.
In theatre, Glasgow-based physical theatre group Company of Wolves reprise their 2015 Edinburgh Fringe show A Brief History of Evil, while aerial artist and theatre-maker Ellie Dubois presents her award-winning performance piece Ringside.
Outskirts have also teamed up with the Glasgow International Festival of Visual Arts, hosting "nomadic installation" Bitter Rose, Mega Hammer from Jedrzej Cichosz and Turner Prize nominee Marvin Gaye Chetwynd, as well as Hap Up Easterhouse from Platform's artist in residence Mandy McIntosh – read our interview with GI director Sarah McCrory.
