Miss Electric Gypsyland

(festival DJ)

WATCH VIDEO (if there is one…)

From the original Festival website: I am miserable and he is miserable – we are miserable.  We want to have a party, why can’t we have a party… Regular contributor to the festival Donna Rutherford mentioned in her recent performance Ochone Ochone that she enjoys dancing and enjoys watching other people dance, especially when caught lost in the moment. This year she deviates as DJ ‘Miss Electric Gypsyland’ inviting you to take the floor where a series of Mediterranean winds will whip you into a dancing frenzy. Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday nights will see the Bora coming off the Black Sea, the Etesian flying over Macedonia, while the Mistral meets the Sirocco coming up from Algiers. All in all we will be saying goodbye to the Doldrums… For twenty years Donna Rutherford has worked in the realm of art performance as a writer, performer, director & video maker. Examining how people deal with and don’t deal with things in their life – issues around avoidance and what happens when one is close to the edge. “Laying myself open on stage allows the audience to enter a space of joint reminiscence, providing an equal platform to say – ‘Your own versions of this are as valid’. I can trace similar behaviour in all my pursuits (work and leisure).  Something about being the first person on the dance-floor with others to quickly join in and joyfully shake their booty!” donnarutherford.org
