Kicking of a 7pm we will welcome Tender Buttons, Holly Bodmer and Foxy and Husk as we delve into perseverance, loneliness and love!
Programme:
7pm BLOW by Holly Bodmer (30mins)
Inspired by a genuine tape recording of a failed music exam, Blow relives personal musical failures and other setbacks through a series of ‘bad blows’.
For anyone who's ever picked up an instrument and put it down again – or anyone afraid of ‘blowing it’ – this solo performance ploughs through a process of perseverance, finding ways of coping with the unsoundly moments and ultimately embracing the discordant and inharmonious human qualities of us all.
Holly Bodmer is a performance artist from Norwich. She devises solo and collaborative work inspired by observations of human nature (familiar
dispositions and funny behaviour). She uses spoken and physical expression to engage audience in unusual live exchanges.

8pm SOUNDS AND GUTS (work in development) by Tender Buttons
Ogygia Island, separated from the mainland by a large sound, or channel of water, is home to one human and a huge colony of sea birds, including 850 pairs of eider ducks.
Legend has it that Ogygia Island holds the solution to loneliness. It is said that bathing in the waters surrounding the island can cure all manner of lonesome maladies.
Sounds and Guts will take you on a theatrical tour of Ogygia, weaving together archive footage of island life, field recordings and immersive sound design to tell a playful fable about the tools we use to fend off loneliness and what happens when they fail us.
Tender Buttons is a theatre and performance company dedicated to making innovative, cross-disciplinary work that engages audiences and collaborators in public dialogues around current social, political and philosophical issues.

9pm FOX SOLO by Foxy and Husk
Foxy and Husk take to the stage. Milk is their favourite tipple. Love is their drug.
Come join this tragic double act in a toast to love and heartbreak. In return they will sing and dance for you, thirsty for your love and affection.
Fox Solo looks at the transformative nature of love and loss through an unusual combination of cabaret, lip-sync, video and performance art.
