SHORT CIRCUIT's line-up consists of three percussionists and two dancers. ANNE HARKIN Anne brings a wealth of performance experience to the group having been involved in the rock/pop world for many years as a guitarist. More recently she has developed skills as a percussionist, co-founding the HABIBIS (Greek-Mediterranean music) and TA'ESH FA'ESH of a rather more Arabic flavour. With SHORT CIRCUIT, West African bells, shakers and powerful djembe sounds are added. ANITA LARKIN Like Anne, plays both West African and Arabic percussion, and was a co-founder of TA'ESH FA'ESH. Originally she came from a training in classical piano, but these days finds the lure of the drums totally irresistible. KERRY DAVIS Also with a classical piano background, Kerry is currently developing her musical base by studying jazz and contemporary piano performance. She too has fallen in love with percussion, and plays djembe as well as Middle Eastern frame drum and finger bells. SHONAH HILL Shonah is a musician/dancer, and also studies music full-time, majoring in voice and piano. She has extensive experience in many dance forms ranging from theatre, tap, African and flamenco to classical/jazz. In SHORT CIRCUIT she is an absolute live-wire, leaping, spinning, tumbling, and shaking in her own interpretation of Afro-contemporary dance as she explores how her body can respond to the rhythms. TANYA LEE GRIERSON visual artist and dancer, has had a wide range of experience - in live theatre, street performance, fire-dancing and dance in general - from traditional Latin American to Ecstatic dance. In SHORT CIRCUIT she explores gestures and rhythm through bellydance and classical Indian dance moves with alluring sinuosity, grace and charm.
