Merging circus, physical theatre, visceral storytelling, puppetry, ambitious technical theatre and an original score, The Vampire Rabbit was an Arts Council funded project between August - November 2017. The project offered 8 emerging artists, as well as a large creative and technical team, the opportunity to devise an immersive inter-disciplinary gothic horror piece surrounding the Vampire Rabbit gargoyle on Newcastle's Cathedral Buildings.

Lyrics taken from Tony Kushner's Angels in America:

 I want more life
How do people change?
It has something to do with God and the pain.
We can't even talk about it.
It's up to you to do the stitching.
On you,
in you,
in your blood we have written
stasis
The End
I want more life.

1985

AEYTHER

Vocals / Piano: Freya Bryson
Cello / Piano: Kerrin Tatman
Violin: Tamara Kazziha

Aeyther is a Newcastle upon Tyne-based (UK) three-piece spanning cello, piano, vocals and violin. Merging influences from contemporary classical, Eastern European folk, celtic, medieval, art-song and music for visual performance, Aeyther offers a truly unique, ethereal, atmospheric sound that "won't be appearing on any plodding indie rock bills any time soon" (The Crack).

The band was officially formed in May 2016 following a commission from the Amy Johnson Festival to stage an evening of music in Holy Trinity Church, Hull to celebrate the famous aviatrix’s life - "Their ethereal and expressive songs and instrumentals ingeniously dramatised their stories..." (Rich & Lou's Loudhailer). Following the concert the band has written a full theatre score for Circus Central’s ‘The Vampire Rabbit’, improvised a soundtrack for an experimental moving image project as part of Channel 4's 'Random Acts', and performed as street artists in Dunfermline Children’s Gala as Jungle Book-themed medieval bards and the NewcastleGateshead Inititative's Winter Carnival with Walk the Plank as Krampus demons. 

Following a headlining gig as part of the Alphabetti Theatre 'Bye Bye Basement' season, they are now working towards recording their first studio album with a planned release for 2017, as well as a commission from Moving Parts: Newcastle Puppetry Festival 2017 to devise a piece with esteemed puppeteer Lori Hopkins.
