DryWrite Presents: The Irreverence of Joel Horwood

Joel is one of the Hospital Club’s Creatives in Residence. He is currently working on a play for Paines Plough, an original television series for Cowboy / Channel 4 and Dick Whittington and His Cat for The Lyric Hammersmith (starting on Saturday). Joel has worked extensively with DryWrite and tonight represents a cross section of some of his collaborations with the company.

DryWrite give writers specific briefs to which they to respond to. These challenges put the audience at the heart of the event and explore theatre’s role in the modern world. They have collaborated with choreographers, journalists, musicians, scientists and fight directors to name just a few. They normally give writers the opportunity to present their work anonymously, allowing them to explore their own craft within a safe and stimulating environment.

As part of a stella line up of performers and music industry figures, Peter performed live at the Aldeburgh Music Tedx  towards the end of last year. Hosted by TED Music Director Thomas Dolby, with speakers including Grammy award-winner Imogen Heap, producer William Orbit, music journalist David Toop and renowned pianist Louis Lortie, the day included mind blowing talks and performances. TEDx events are based on those of world-famous conference organisers TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design), with whom TEDx organisers are affiliated.

Further extending his month of experimental audiovisual performance, Peter also formed part of a brand new collaboration between Tod Machover, Ben Bloomberg and United Visual Artists for the cutting edge performance Spheres & Splinters. Produced by Faster Than Sound, this ambisonic audio environment with an interactive laser light show, was based around a new piece of solo cello music written for Peter by Tod Machover. The performance explored the properties of acoustic and electronic music to create a unique experience for audiences at Snape, Suffolk and Kings Place, London.

Destiny has put together the pilot for ‘Gone too far’, a coming of age comedy based in Peckham based on Bola Agbaje’s Olivier award winning play. The first floor of the hospital club lent itself as rehearsal space for the film that in 2011 will be made into a full feature.
