Art and performance, fine company, bewitching enigma, sumptuous tatter and the richly seductive ambience of eye, ear and mind opening entertainment. We have lots more nights coming up this year � so come along and come explore your art and performance dreams! �IF variety really is the spice of life, few club nights can be spicier than Silencio. Based at the Counting House on West Nicolson Street since early last year, it has resolutely stuck to its founding aim of capturing the anything-goes, slightly surreal atmosphere of a 1930s European cabaret venue. Silencio serves up an array of entertainment in a format geared for the generation weaned on modern club culture. From throat-singers to clowns, poetry to comedy and performance theatre to new music, it�s a strange-sounding blend but it works. Attendances at their monthly events have been very healthy and you�d be hard-pushed to find a more challenging, experimental yet entertaining night out in Edinburgh.� Andrew Midgley, Edinburgh Evening News � **** �traditional setting, avant-garde performance. Welcome to SiLENCiO. The normal rules of nightclub entertainment no longer apply. � Jason Hall, Edinburgh Evening News �Inspired by Baz Luhrmann�s vision of Moulin Rouge and a diet of David Lynch movies, Edinburgh Artists Laura Cameron-Lewis and Jennifer Williams have dreamt up a new concept known as Silencio. Billed as a monthly experimental performance art cabaret, the evening aims to recreate the decadence, indulgence and, of course, the artistic sensibilities of the 1930�s cabaret scene. Dressed in vintage costume, the two hostesses welcome their guests with theatrical flourish. The space doesn�t disappoint � all fairy lights, glitter ball and candles. As expected, the audience is there to be seen as well as to see, and there�s a slightly odd mix of tuxedos, evening dresses and jeans� this will be a space to watch.� Louisa Pearson, The Scotsman Jennifer Williams and Laura Cameron Lewis 0131 225 5639 j: 07969 163 065 l: 07976 316 073 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] SilENCiO press links : http://www.news.scotsman.com/archive.cfm?id=1309102003 http://www.news.scotsman.com/archive.cfm?id=249362003 http://www.news.scotsman.com/archive.cfm?id=248082003 http://www.news.scotsman.com/archive.cfm?id=242002003 http://www.news.scotsman.com/archive.cfm?id=1358692003 SiLENCiO photos : http://www.rebeccamedia.co.uk/project.aspx?pid=14&i=1 -------------------- talk21 your FREE portable and private address on the net at http://www.talk21.com ------------------------------------------------- a m b i t : networking media arts in scotland post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] archive: http://www.mediascot.org/ambit info: send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and write "info ambit" in the message body -------------------------------------------------
