B.L.O.P. Blogged

Here is a brief summary of all the things i saw at B.L.O.P.

If you aren't on the list it means I didn't see you. Sorry about that. Please invite me to your next show and I'll blog about that.

GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN an outstanding commitment and feat of endurance, a pain to watch and listen to. Excellent work.

Edi Rogers literally out standing in the cold holding a sign. A sweet and simple idea, it made me smile a number of times.

Tom Marshman offered beguiling memories of lesbian and gay history and ephemeral gestures.

Links we Love

Capacity Bristol

We are at The Milk Bar courtesy of Ruth Essex and The Capacity project.  It is run by Bristol City Council Neighbourhood Arts team and aims to open up empty and underused buildings for creative uses for the benefit of Bristol’s creative community, residents and visitors to the city. They try to ensure wherever possible any empty council owned buildings are made available for temporary usage by artists and also help broker usage of privately owned buildings.

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. Keep an eye on our website for more to follow. Click read more for current full programme of events

The Flaw Set Photos on Flickr

Check out photos on Flickr from The Flaw Set in May, which was something of a Residence take over. We had toasts raised by Kettle of Fish, songs from The Wonder Club, an interpretation of Joni Mitchell's Blue by Tom Marshman and Iain Morrison, Ed Rapley and The Special Guests.

Here's the link. Enjoy.
