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!"
