Bonjour Claude
Bonjour Claude - Amy Jolly and Ellen Sargen - are an experimental duo who create dynamic works through their shared performance practice. The duo came about through research into collaborative practice at RAM and RNCM respectively. Over four years, the pair have moved fluidly between their respective performer / composer roles to create a unique experimental practice that blurs improvisatory and notated practices within a collaborative and autoethnographic space - framed by the pairs’ innovative handling of audiovisual materials. Bonjour Claude appeared at eavesdropping presenting their research and first piece Maps for Claude. The duo is currently working on a new version of their work for solo cello Ballet, a piece exploring the relationship between ballet dancing and musical performance. Their work constantly changes and grows as their practice develops. If you are interested in booking Bonjour Claude, please contact Amy.
