Information:
"Genre Collage" is an entry from 2009
Welcome to the new live set by People Like Us, entitled "Genre Collage". Genre Collage (created in 2009, although liable for some updating as time goes on) has this title because collage is indeed a genre - with a long history in the creative arts, being a central part of what People Like Us do. Also, we are collaging film genres in this new set. In the 13 years of performing live, this will be the first live set using well known feature films. Working with universally accepted film genres provides a focussed way to manipulate and edit subject matter because the content is contextually familiar to the audience, which means one can see the journey it's being taken on.
By changing context and content of recurring icons, elements, characters and film stars held within selected movie genres/sub-genres (i.e. action, adventure, comedy, crime/gangster, drama, epics/historical, horror, musicals, science fiction, war and westerns), we hope we've created a humorous and entertaining take on the content held within. The sound is partially used from the films, accompanied by new People Like Us music holding corresponding messages, mood and lyrical content.
We worked with Tim Maloney in the building of moving images, many thanks for that.
If the play button doesn't appear you should be able to control the movie with your space bar.
This work replaces my previous live performance, which you can now only watch and download at UbuWeb .
We are taking bookings for this new concert, which can be performed in cinemas, auditoriums and concert halls. If you are funded festival organiser or curator get in touch through the Bookings link on the front page of our site.

Here are some stills from Genre Collage. Click on images below to download a larger version. Please note: the film stills are from the original QuickTime movies, and therefore the maximum original size you get them is the size that they will always be, in 72dpi resolution. We have resampled the originals in Photoshop to make "higher resolution" images. If you need it to be a different dpi then do go to Photoshop and resample the image as such yourself.
