It’s the end of an incredibly busy but productive year, having just finished my training at Sherman Cymru. (See projects to find out more) I am now working on a few new-writing projects culminating in script in hand productions early next year.

Resisence in Residence Provocations

A short while ago now, as part of our 'Residence in Residence' weekender at the Tobacco Factory on 11th and 12th September we held a series of simultaneous dsicussion events all starting with a different provocation to find a 'new way of...' Each discussion event began with a provocation written by someone working in that area, the provocations were;

new ways of developing new work by Hannah @ New work Network,
new ways of funding new work by Gary @ The institute of Art and Dissent at Home,
new ways of touring new work by Kate @ Mayfest and BOV and

Its £5 to get in on the door. There’s the Paper cinema on before us who do beautiful animations with beautiful music and there’ll be a man in a boat talking about neutrinos with real Sonic Booms and Little Bulb wearing red tights.

Tour dates Aug – Dec

ahoy.

We just had a brilliant time doing A Western at the British Council Edinburgh Showcase, and now we’re getting sorted for a mega-busy Autumn.

here’s what we’re up to before Christmas, hope you can catch us soon!

Residence in Residence

So we’ve teamed up with our friends at New Work Network, Theatre Bristol and the good people of The Tobacco Factory in Bristol, who are letting us move in for two days, and we'd love you to join us.

There’ll be performances from Ed Rapley, Search Party, Tom Wainwright, Muddled State and Tom Marshman. Installations from Jo Bannon and Tinned Fingers, and there’ll be a party, with party pieces from Action Hero and Tom Marshman. We’ll be sleeping the night in the theatre and the following day you’ll be able to see documentation of what we got up to in our pyjamas.

Between the performances we’ll be serving dinner and there’ll be a morning after breakfast to recover from the night before. Plus there’ll be a one off Tiny Ideas special for non-Residence artists to show their work in its most fragile early form in front of an ultra supportive audience. We’ll have discussion with other artist led projects Forest Fringe, Showroom, The institute for the art and practice of dissent at home and Live Art Falmouth, as well as 5 provocateurs given 5 minutes to present 5 provocations on the subject of New Work.

The Special Guests' news...

After almost a year of silence (everyone's been off doing other things), we're about to embark on a few week's rehearsals in August for our new show Something Got a Hold of Me, which we showed a work-in-progress of last October. We'll be showing it in Edinburgh as part of the Forest Fringe's Bristol weekend, and then all being well, showing it in a community centre or somesuch place in Bristol in October. Then, come November, we'll be undertaking our first international gigs, showing the piece twice in Germany.
