- About Frankie Archer
Community. Expression. Blurs edges between performer and audience.

Blurring the edges between performer and audience, finding connection and meaning in the communal experience of sound. You are invited to take part as little or as much as you want, without pressure or any expectation, but with openness and warmth.

About Commune
Commune welcomes you into the music, as a creator and collaborator, not just an observer. Blurring the edges between performer and audience, Frankie invites you to become a part of the performance. She has deconstructed some of her songs so that certain parts can be controlled by people in the room – you’ll be able to change sounds through movement and touch!
When you first come in you’ll find music stations in the middle of the room. The space will be open so you can move around, or simply take a seat and watch the show.
Frankie welcomes you in to look around and be nosy with all the fun tech she’s discovered. She will introduce the experience and how you can be involved at the very start, then you’re welcome to join in and control the music as much or as little as you want.
