mayfest

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

It's that time again, when the clocks go forward, the nights get longer and Kate and Matthew disappear into a Mayfest shaped hole.

Yes, it's April, and planning for this year's festival is reaching fever pitch. We're often to be found in the deserted upstairs cafe at Bristol Old Vic, surrounded by laptops and brochures, sweating a bit.

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.
