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

Bristol is the place to be

Bristol Old Vic now has a new Artistic Director and it's good news for the little folk of the theatre world in our fair city, check out Lyn Gardner's blog here for more info. What's more our own self, Residence, get a mention, at the top of a paragraph no less. Always nice to see our little organisation getting name checked by one of the top theatre commentators in the country. We must be doing something right.
