Maya Deren (1917 - 1961) is considered one of true pioneers of experimental film yet unlike many of the film makers she influenced ( Jean-Luc Godard, Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch) her work is rarely experienced outside of academic and film school environments. As part of Kirby and Ward’s continuing investigation into the important (and often overlooked) role of women in the history of Contemporary Art  Discontinued Space: The Cinema of Maya Deren will present several of Deren’s short movies with original live scores written by Kirby, Ward and Banks.

Deren employed a vast array of cinematic devices (looping, reversing, overlaying and time manipulation) to create vignettes that focused on graphic and kinetic form rather than straightforward narrative. Conceptually the work examines rhythm, isolation, social constructs, movement and ritual, all of which is underpinned by the notion of the inner world and its disconnection from the space of everyday life. 

It is the conceptual framework of Deren’s cinema that informs the scores produced for this project. Rather than compositions that ‘soundtrack’ the  action and the visual imagery the music reflects and explores Deren’s philosophical beliefs and her desire to immerse her audience in a world that is barely hinted at in everyday life yet sits just under the skin of reality. 

The performance by Kirby, Ward and Banks showcases the 7 major short films Deren produced from 1943 to 1958.

Lady of Fire Poetry

"Don't gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver or gold." Bob Marley

Who made you believe
In idleness
At the expense
Of another
At the cost of people with
Unfortunate skin
in gradient hues
of warmth and Sun
Breathing in small
fatalities
Who told you to
Reap from their sweat
So you could betray
Them with ease not
Getting dirty
to watch
The prosperity of your
paper bag profits
You have murdered them
In cold blood while
Farting on your futon
The American Dream
Has left you bloated
crashing like a burning zeppelin
to the unforgiving ground
