Celebrating creativity in the North-East of Scotland October 2013 to January 2014 www.woodendbarn.co.uk Photo: Chris Dooks RSC: Richard II starring David Tennant Rachel Sermanni Kevin Henderson & Mattias Perez Catherine Wheels Welcome Local in essence and global in outlook Buchanans Food at Woodend Barn Framed Against The Sky Am I really writing the intro for our final brochure of the year? It’s true what they say, time flies when you’re having fun! And what fun we’ve had this year, all culminating in this brilliant autumn/winter programme. Our new partnership with Curzon Cinema’s has been very successful – helping us bring events like the sell out Pompeii LIVE and Stephen Fry in Twelfth Night to the people of Deeside. This season sees us screening some wonderful operas from the MET in New York and the RSC’s Richard II with David Tennant. They have also worked with us on curating our first film weekend – around the theme of sound + image with some fantastic films and live performances. This is a prelude to the wonderful sound festival which launches at the Barn on 23rd October. A unique place of lightness, simplicity and imagination Coffees and teas, cakes and cookies from 9am Flexible food and drink – lunchtime through to early evening Booking advisable for weekend evenings and pre concert Second and fourth Sundays – live traditional music at lunchtime Retail – cakes, biscuits and sweet treats; pottery, books and selected gifts Over the summer we’ve been working on two projects of which you can see the results this winter. Framed Against The Sky was a partnership project with sound and saw us taking new music into the nooks and crannies of Aberdeenshire. At the sound launch you will get to hear the new piece of music written by composer Brian Irvine and poet Billy Letford, performed by Red Note Ensemble. And our Atomic Doric project which has been working in nature reserves across Aberdeenshire will culminate in a fantastic 3-day festival at the end of November – not to be missed! Other highlights include award winning artist Torsten Lauschmann’s Open Visual Lab in the Barn for all to pop in and see, and new product label Dig This by Third Stage and Deirdre Nelson will be launched in the gallery during the Luminate Festival. There’s so much exciting stuff this season so I’ll leave it there and let you start exploring these pages for yourself!

Over the summer several artists have been working across Aberdeenshire exploring the people and natural spaces that make the North East of Scotland so special. They have been working in St Cyrus, Muir of Dinnet, Mar Lodge Estate and Glen Tanar Estate with various different community groups and using a variety of artforms to explore the idea that no matter which geography you inhabit, you can be at the epicentre of a universal enquiry. See and hear the results over one inspiring weekend. Friday 29 November 7.30pm Woodend Barn Atomic Doric Festival Launch FREE An evening of film and music premieres, discussion, food and drink, including: Chris Dooks Tiny Geographies Multi-disciplinary artist Chris Dooks will premiere a series of four short films, collectively titled Tiny Geographies, at Woodend Barn, 7.30pm.

Lelouch’s electrifying 9-minute drive has to be seen to be believed. No car chase on film has, or ever can come close. Widely recognised as one of the most important films in children’s cinema, this 1956 classic is the only dialogue-free film to win an Oscar for Best Screenplay. Composer Pete Stollery will create a musical response to the film linked to the thrill of a roaring engine. £5.50, £4.50 conc. + bf Saturday 12 October 2pm Step Across The Border (Humbert + Penzel 1990) This film takes two forms of artistic expression, improvised music and cinema direct, and builds a relationship between the two. Ostensibly a documentary following guitarist Fred Frith, the film itself is an artform and seeks to interpret the music while documenting the formation of Frith’s latest group Keep the Dog. A truly groundbreaking film about an inventive and challenging musician, that continues to inspire as much as it did when it was originally released. £5.50, £4.50 conc. + bf Saturday 12 October 8pm C’etait un Rendezvous (Lelouch 1976) with music response by Pete Stollery “Is this the greatest car film ever made?” The Sunday Times “Makes Steve McQueen’s Bullitt look like a cartoon” Jeremy Clarkson Banned in 1976, this terrifying yet exhilarating legendary film with its surprise ending has been shrouded in myths since its first release. Was seminal French director Claude Lelouch really arrested when it was first shown? Was it a Formula 1 driver in the iconic Ferrari 275 GTB at the wheel? If it’s real, how did he do it? Remember Remember: Live Audio-Visual performance Remember Remember is the musical brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Graeme Ronald. Initially begun as a purely solo endeavour, which featured Graeme utilising both traditional and abstract instrumentation (wind-up gizmos, toy sharks and the like) all fed through a huge bank of effects and loop pedals. The group expanded along with the music and this 7-piece go from sweeping lush soundscapes to brittle guitar instrumentals.

Uneasy in his new environment and surrounded by a world he finds alien, he throws himself into his work, failing to notice how life is slowly beginning to imitate art. Strickland’s film is both an homage to the Italian films of the story and a fitting tribute to the artists who tirelessly created them. £5.50, £4.50 conc. + bf Sunday 13 October 8pm The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (Wiene 1922) Cert: U In the little village of Holstenwall on the Dutch border, fairground hypnotist Dr Caligari (Werner Krauss) puts on show a somnambulist called Cesare (Conrad Veidt) who has been asleep for twenty-three years.

A student (Friedrich Feher) has his suspicions about Caligari after a friend is found dead and it transpires that the doctor is the director of a lunatic asylum. The story also has a sting in the tail added by the producer!

From the word “go” they were breaking out and happily exploring the musical universe. The latest Studio Ghibli offering is a typically lavish production, as befitting arguably the world’s finest animation house. Goro Miyazaki’s (Tales from Earthsea) sophomore feature is set in 1960s Yokohama and follows the burgeoning romance between two school children. It’s a gentle film, filled with nostalgia for the past and tinged with a bittersweet edge as the pair attempt to solve a mystery concerning their upbringing in post-war Japan. Pioneers of unusual and exciting arrangements, not only from the rich vein of traditional Gaelic culture but from any enticing genre, they take their audiences on a sparkling, spine-tingling journey through a sometimes fantastical landscape. £5.50, £4.50 conc. + bf £10.00, £8.00 conc. £5.00 U16 in advance + bf £12.00, £10.00 conc. £7.00 U16 on the door + bf Thursday 17 October 7.30pm Film: For Those In Peril (Wright 2013) Cert: tbc Wednesday 23 October 6pm sound Launch: ‘Framed Against The Sky’ Red Note Ensemble Aaron (George MacKay) is the lone survivor of a fishing trip that claimed the lives of five men including his older brother, Michael (Jordan Young).

The English Patient tells the story of Count Almásy who is a mapmaker employed by the Royal Geographical Society to chart the vast expanse of the Sahara.

Tonight we celebrate the life and work of experimental British composer Jonathan Harvey who sadly died towards the end of 2012. Harvey’s contributions to music are profound and hugely influential. The screening of Barrie Gavin’s new portrait film seeks to explore Harvey’s musical and philosophical world by means of a journey outward from his own thoughts and from his actual workroom. Preceding the performance plan B will screen their 13 minute dance film Away From Here. Set in the dramatic West Highlands of Scotland, Away From Here examines the fleeting relationship of people to a sense of place and belonging; exploring the incongruity of our relationship to an ancient landscape. William Kentridge stormed the Met with his inventive production of Shostakovich’s opera, which dazzled opera and art lovers alike in its inaugural run in 2010. Now Paulo Szot reprises his acclaimed performance of a bureaucrat, whose satirical misadventures in search of his missing nose are based on Gogol’s comic story.
