SUMMARY:Tate Liverpool: Tate Liverpool: O.K. The Musical
DESCRIPTION:O.K. – The Musical\n\nTate Liverpool \n 1 April – 1 May 201
 7\n\nFREE\n\nSupported by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Un
 ion\, as part of Collaborative Arts Partnership Programme\, Super Slow Way
 \, Liverpool City Council and Tate Liverpool Corporate Members and Patrons
 \nVisitors to Tate Liverpool will have the unique opportunity to witness t
 he production of a musical unfold live in the gallery over the space of fo
 ur weeks\, culminating in three special performances.\n\nBerlin based arti
 st Christopher Kline (b.1982\, United States) is working with communities 
 from Lancashire and Liverpool to produce O.K. – The Musical. Usually the
  home of internationally recognised artists including Picasso\, Warhol and
  Turner the gallery spaces will be transformed into a working set where vi
 sitors can drop-in throughout the day and watch continuous activity\, gett
 ing a glimpse of what goes on backstage.  From acting\, singing and playi
 ng an instrument to set design\, lighting\, and prop-making people of all 
 ages and backgrounds will contribute and work together.\n\nO.K. – The Mu
 sical explores and restages the entire history and folklore of Kline’s h
 ometown of Kinderhook in New York State with an original score by the arti
 st.  Work has already started with the artist meeting groups in community
  centres to develop their role in the theatre production\, using their own
  experiences to influence the narrative and final performances. Their coll
 aboration will continue at Tate Liverpool from 1 April – 1 May 2017.\n\n
 Christopher Kline said: ‘OK – The Musical is an evolving play where sc
 enes are added or refined for every staging as the stories are told and re
 told. In this way everyone involved has something meaningful to contribute
  through their ideas\, acting\, singing and making. Connecting communities
  in Liverpool and Lancashire enriches the project\, by forming new persona
 l relationships\, sharing stories and collaboratively producing a musical 
 while finding new ways of exploring and narrating their own local historie
 s.’\n\nTo connect people within the North West region Christopher Kline 
 and Tate Liverpool have collaborated with Super Slow Way\, a regional arts
  organisation that works with community groups in Pennine Lancashire. This
  year Super Slow Way are delivering an ambitious programme comprised of lo
 cal\, national and international artists in a series of commissioned and c
 ommunity-based residencies. Recent projects include a commission by intern
 ationally acclaimed artist Suzanne Lacy (b. 1945) who conducted a mass par
 ticipation project with the diverse communities of Pendle\, Lancashire.  
 The resulting film will also be shown at Tate Liverpool\, as part of Tate 
 Exchange in 2017.  Tate Exchange Liverpool is an ongoing project that inv
 ites the public to come together with organisations from across the North 
 West and international artists to collaborate\, test ideas and discover ne
 w perspectives on life\, through art.\n\nO.K. – The Musical is part of a
 n annual season of commissions entitled We Have your Art Gallery the first
  of which was Art Gym\, a successful three week programme of activity devi
 sed and delivered by young people in spring 2016. We Have Your Art Gallery
  is an experimental and developing project that reimagines what a museum c
 an be and how it can programme for and with the public.
