Julie Lassonde and Nicolas Filion

Yesterday afternoon the Belgo building hummed with activity. The sounds of drums, cellos, saxophones and voices echoed through the corridors as art lovers pushed in and out of exhibition spaces. Scott Thomson’s site-specific music event BELGOrientation rocked the house!

The Belgo Report has two videos up on its YouTube stream, both recorded at the Visual Voice Art Gallery:
“Cello and Spectator”, featuring cellist Mélanie Auclair and dancer Emmanuel Jouthe:

“Drumdance”, featuring dancers Julie Lassonde & Nicolas Filion and percussionist Pierre Tanguay:

Rumour has it that the performance in Galerie B-312 included the use of a live chicken! If you saw that one (or if – better yet – you have video footage), please leave a note in the comment section.
