Fri 20 April 2012 // 19:00
(Fri 20th April / 7pm: £5; 8.15pm: £4; 9pm: £6)
And we're back with our twice yearly platform of new ideas in performance by artists that we think are exciting. Remember this is a place of risk, tears, success and wilderment, so please join us with an warm mind and an open heart.
7pm: 'I like the way you wear your hair' by Greg Wohead £5
Welcome to Greg’s bedroom in Mesquite, Texas, 1998. A show about visiting a past version of yourself. It’s about stomach butterflies, private thoughts and marching band conveyed through simple storytelling and projected drawings. Greg tells you — from the perspective of a geeky teenager—the true story of the night he took a chance.
8.15pm: You remind me of someone I once knew by CODA Dance £4
London based contemporary dance company fuse technical dance with physical theatre based movement. Inspired and spurred by emotional heft, Nikki
(choreographer) threading her own life experiences into each piece; she expects emotional and physical endurance from her dancers.
9pm: Amusements (work-in-progress) by Sleepwalk Collective £6 (limited capacity)
Like some backroom carnival ride / lo-fi sci-fi pleasure machine/psychedelic Hispan-ploitation micro-epic / end-of-the-pier minimalist live-art spectacular, AMUSEMENTS is an insolent, tempestuous new solo work for theatres. Intensely sensorial, using a complex score of live and pre-recorded text and music experienced through headphones, the performance is both a joyous dance towards the limits of pleasure and an unsettlingly voyeuristic tribute to our private desires.
Combined tickets available online, though for Amusements - first come first serve. All tickets are concessions. Online sales on
