    Aboagora - Between Arts and Sciences

    “Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to my performance. In order for it to work I will need you to imagine that I am Mercedes Gleitze: the first British woman to swim the English Channel. This I did in 1927 aged 26 and it took 15 hours and 15 minutes.”

    The Art of Swimming

    Written and performed by Lynda Radley
    Directed by Tom Creed.
    Music and sound by Michael John McCarthy
    Filmed and edited by Jack Cocker

    is now available on YouTube: youtu.be/s5JjPAVGTVo

    The Art of Swimming is an intimate and compelling solo performance about long-distance swimming, celebrity, storytelling, and time. A celebrated endurance swimmer in her day, Mercedes Gleitze set and broke many records, often years in advance of men in her field. Lynda Radley has found her in a faded photograph and been fascinated and frustrated ever since...

    Originally conceived as a live theatre performance, this abridged digital version of The Art of Swimming has been created and filmed especially for Aboagora. It will be available on YouTube till the end of this year, so be sure to watch this compelling and intense performance already this weekend!     ... See MoreSee Less

    Cosmic music and comics are a great way to start t Cosmic music and comics are a great way to start the weekend! We were able to enjoy both of them in the Closing Ceremony of Aboagora: Water.

"Wasser," the second of the five thematic compositions of E-Musikgruppe Lux Ohr was a magical ending for the watery and thought-provoking symposium. The music starts at approximately 12:20. . You can find many impressive sessions of this year’s Aboagora on Aboagora’s YouTube channel (link in bio). The rest will be there soon, so stay tuned! . #aboagora #aboagora2020 #water #wasser #betweenartsandsciences #fiverings #emusikgruppeluxohr #cosmic #ambient #rock
