Made in response to the unpredictable and tumultuous global events of 2016, Marathon sees four people struggle to remember and reenact a play they once did together. Under a kind of collective amnesia, JAMS experiment with form, style, live music and pyrotechnics to evoke the sense of confusion and frustration felt by many in our times.

Entitled is about the people who are in it. Each of them has their own story to tell.
It takes the form of a get-in and a get-out: the usually hidden choreography of transforming a theatre from an empty space into a stage for a performance - and back again.
Three theatre technicians take centre stage and lead us into their world of making a show. As microphones are checked and the starcloth is raised, the performers step outside their rehearsal and tell us what’s really going on…
Schrödinger by Reckless Sleepers

In 1933 Erwin Schrödinger won the Nobel Prize for his contribution to Quantum Mechanics. He theorized a box in which a cat exists as living and dead at the same time. In 1998 Reckless Sleepers built that box – and now over a decade later, they are climbing back inside. In one of the company’s most celebrated performance pieces the impossible is probable, and truth and illusion are inseparable. Laws are made, bent and then broken.
Schrödinger is a visually mesmerizing performance that sways between question and answer, chaos and order, what we can measure and what we cannot.
Sledge Hammer Songs by Lone Twin

Described as ‘A Bother in Twenty One Dramas’ Lone Twin’s Sledge Hammer Songs evokes the mystery of the Medicine Show, the poetry of Pub Rock, the loneliness of the European Busker and the drownings of The Great and The Cursed. Drawing on the Spectacular Social Practices of Crop Growing, Morris Dancing, CD Burning, Cloud Taming, Weather Becoming and Justin Timberlaking, the evening’s activities exhaust, exasperate and evaporate all those willing to dance to The Calling.
Sledge Hammer Songs is the resolving work in lone twin’s internationally acclaimed series The Days of the Sledge Hammer Have Gone. Built from four years of travelling across Europe, America, Canada and Australia, Sledge Hammer Songs is a unique performance event.
This weeks is brief becuase I have a lot of work on at the moment. They joys of over working an arts job whilst balancing a part time job. Wooo.
Hope you all have a lovely week!
Talk soon
