Bergvall&#8217;s cutting-edge texts also reshape damning reports into contemporary sea migration disasters; and the 3D treatment by Swiss visual artist Thomas K\u00f6ppel transforms the narrative into an abstract canvas of drifting language mass.<\/p>\n<p>Drift is the result of a new collaboration between live literature producer Penned in the Margins and new music promoter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soundandmusic.org\">Sound and Music<\/a>. An opportunity for UK audiences to experience one of the world&#8217;s most exciting sound poets at the top of her game, the show takes you on a journey through time and space; where languages mix, where live percussion meets live voice, where the ancient cohabits with the present.<\/p>\n<p>The tour kicks off at The Southbank Centre, London in July, as the opener in this year&#8217;s Poetry International Festival, followed by October dates at MK Gallery, Milton Keynes, The Shelley Theatre as part of Bournemouth Arts Festival, The Sage Gateshead, The Forge in Camden, London, and pop-up arts space The Drome, Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/classic\/4985bw.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Performance dates<\/h3>\n<p>Thursday 17 July<br \/>\nSouthbank Centre, London (Purcell Room)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.southbankcentre.co.uk\/whatson\/caroline-bergvall-drift-83753\">southbankcentre.co.uk<\/a><br \/>\n\u00a310, 020 7960 4200<\/p>\n<p>Thursday 2 October<br \/>\nMK Gallery, Milton Keynes<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mkgallery.org\/events\/2014_10_02\/caroline_bergvall\">mkgallery.org<\/a><br \/>\n\u00a36, 01908 676900<\/p>\n<p>Friday 3 October<br \/>\nBournemouth Arts Festival<a href=\"http:\/\/artsbournemouth.org.uk\/festival\/\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/artsbournemouth.org.uk\/arts-bournemouth\/arts-by-the-sea\/event\/caroline-bergvall-drift\/\">artsbournemouth.org.uk<\/a><br \/>\n\u00a37, 01202 451 805<\/p>\n<p>Saturday 4 October<br \/>\nThe Sage, Gateshead<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sagegateshead.com\">sagegateshead.com<\/a><br \/>\n0191 443 4666<\/p>\n<p>Monday 6 October<br \/>\nThe Forge, Camden, London<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.forgevenue.org\">forgevenue.org<\/a><br \/>\n020 7383 7808<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday 7 October<br \/>\nThe Drome, Liverpool<a href=\"http:\/\/mercyonline.co.uk\/\"><br \/>\nmercyonline.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Tickets<\/h3>\n<p>See venue websites for booking information.<\/p>\n<h3>Credits<\/h3>\n<p>Voice, texts, concept: Caroline Bergvall<br \/>\nLive and treated percussion: Ingar Zach<br \/>\nVisual treatment and programming: Thomas K\u00f6ppel<br \/>\nDramaturgy: Mich\u00e8le Pralong<br \/>\nProducer (UK): Penned in the Margins and Sound and Music<\/p>\n<p>Drift was originally commissioned for the festival <em>lost.las.gru<\/em> by Gru\/Transtheatre, Geneva.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.inpressbooks.co.uk\/media\/catalog\/category\/Penned_in_the_Margins.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"277\" height=\"45\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/classic\/sam_web_small.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"89\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A remarkable new performance work is hitting the UK in 2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[271],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5781"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5781"}],"version-history":[{"count":28,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5781\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7145,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5781\/revisions\/7145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pennedinthemargins.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
