On Thursday 1st November 2018 Free Range is proud to present performances by the poet-artist Iris Colomb and Matt Miles' Work8hop.

Iris Colomb is an artist, poet, curator, and translator based in London. Throughout her practice she strives to create relationships between form and content, applying a design approach to poetic projects. She has given individual, collaborative and interactive performances at a range of venues in both London and France (including Tate Modern, The Royal Court, Chelsea College of Art, and Parasol Unit). Her poems have been published in Erotoplasty, Tentacular, Zarf, Pocket Litter, and Datableed.

Work8hop is a contemporary jazz octet featuring some of the finest player-composers in the South East of England. Founded in 2016 by saxophonist Matt Miles, the ensemble meets each month to ‘workshop’ each other’s pieces, experimenting with texture, instrumentation and harmony and offering vital feedback. A creative ecosystem like this­–happening outside of established institutions or markets and whose existence is based on a love of music, mutual respect and a shared believe that creativity matters–is an inspiration and a joy to present.

Workshop are: Matt Miles (tenor saxophone & bass clarinet), Sam Miles (alto & soprano saxophone), Daniel Cano (trumpet & flugelhorn), Geoff Mason (trombone), Paul Speare (baritone sax & flutes), Frances Knight (piano), Richard Bates (bass), Simon Whiting (drums).
