«The Scorpionfish»
Joanna Dudley & Schneider TM
The Scorpionfish is the fourth music
theatre piece by Joanna Dudley that explores the parameters of the
voice and is also her second solo performance. Since the lyrical My Dearest...My Fairest, the world repertoire of song in He Taught me to Yodel,
and the surealism of colours may fade with friction Joanna Dudley now
celebrates the art of the old time show entertainer- embracing the
timeless fasciantion with all things exotic and erotic. To bring this
world to life in all it's colour, The Scorpionfish uses the
colourful palette of the modern and ancient world of Asia, specifically
the tropical island and chaotic metropolis of Java. Drawing on the
Javanese night life- pop song and dance numbers will feature as well as
the mysticism and sensuality of ancient Javanese song and courtly dance.
