Cashmere Specials CPR#1 - Cool And In The Cool Dark by Catriona Shaw 04.11.2017

'Cool and in the cool dark'


Created whilst in residence at Cashmere Radio, this commissioned radio play
deals with the subject of arrival, belonging and returning. It is loosely
inspired by Sol Yurick’s novel ‘The Warriors’ and the film of the same name by
Walter Hill.


Using analogue instruments, songs, voice, text and costumes, Catriona Shaw has
created a 25-minute work designed for radio, a tale of survival that reflects
upon her own geographical movements across the span of her life, her attempts to
adapt, conform, and belong to new groups, cultures and territories whilst still
battling to retain individuality. The piece will premiere on the 4th of November
as both a live broadcast and event at the Cashmere Radio HQ in Lichtenberg,
starting at 17:00 hours.
