FIELD WORK at White Night, Brighton, 25th October 2008

White Night is a new city-wide arts festival from 6pm to 7am to mark the end of British Summer Time. Rediscover the city at night through special events and activities in cultural venues and through trails and tours through the city’s streets and secrets. 

Field Work takes audiences on a heightened journey through the North Laine, an area whose identity has radically changed over the past 40 years, yet whose street layout still essentially follows that of the medieval fields it is named after. Whilst seeking remains and reminders of these original fields, we may well be diverted by a half remembered stuffed chicken, some back street cider drinking, and a spot of guerrilla gardening…

        *Start Point: Jubilee Square, Jubilee Street, Brighton
        *7pm, 9.30pm & 12pm (60 mins)
        *FREE! but booking essential as limited capacity.
        *Please wear appropriate clothing for being outside on an October night!

To book email arts.commission@brighton-hove.gov.uk with “FIELD TRIP” as the title, stating number of tickets required and the start time. (Please note, 7pm show is sold out)

The Fabulous Walks                                              25th-27th July 2008         
A mini-festival of all-new performance walks in Teignbridge, Devon
                                                                    

Following the success of last summers Mobile Machinoeki project, I am delighted to be working again with Phil Smith and Anouska Athique on The Fabulous Walks. We will be joined this year by Simon Persighetti from Wrights & Sites, traditional Zimbabwean mbira player Chartwell Dutiro, singer and performer Nicola Singh, dancer and choreographer Rachel Sweeney, and movement artist Fumiaki Tanaka.

Please read on for further details and how to book...

Taking place between 25th and 27th July (inclusive) each 'performance-walk' features a unique blend of story telling, live theatre, public participation, and Teignbridge's fascinating heritage and famous landscape.

                "We've called the walks "fabulous" because our walks have always turned up something unexpected and wondrous, but also                 because we'll be looking at fables this year: the stories of and from the places we'll be walking through and performing in.

                "Last year's performance walks were a big success, including performances that took their audience into a secret chapel in a                      monastery garden, that traced the history of radio waves across the Haldon Hills, and that offered its audience a Calvados in                      Calvados Close, Chudleigh.

                "The walks vary in length and difficulty, but they all aim to equally amaze, amuse and engage! And this year they will be                         fabulous!"

Field Work
May 2008

In May, as part of Caravan and Brighton Festival Fringe, Katie will be scratching the tarmac of central Brighton to expose and explore more lost, hidden and imagined histories.

Field Work takes audiences on a heightened journey through the North Laine, an area whose identity has radically changed over the past 40 years, but whose street layout still essentially follows that of the medieval fields it is named after.

This participatory walking performance may involve amongst other things: going underground, maps, eating, listening to birds and guerilla gardening.

Monday 12th May 2pm, 4pm, and 6pm

Age 12+   Tickets (£6) are available from Brighton Festival Fringe    Please note there is a very limited capacity.
