RESIDENCE
DISCUSSION EVENT
ON MONDAY 28TH APRIL 8PM
about the work we saw at
I AM STILL YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE

Residence's discussion event is back for one night only before we bid farewell to our beloved police station and move to pastures new. Come along and meet like-minded artists, chat about the work you saw, drink booze.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU? WHAT WORKED? WHAT DIDN'T WORK? WHAT MADE YOU LAUGH? WHAT WAS THE POINT? DOES ANYONE CARE? WHO WAS IT FOR? DID YOU SEE THAT? DID YOU MISS THAT? WHAT CHANGED YOUR LIFE FOREVER? WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO TEARS? WHAT BORED YOU TO TEARS?

7:30pm Saturday 29th March at Horfield Police Station
Residence host their newly established evening of works-in-progress from Residence members.

Following on from last months event that saw Kettle of Fish and Ed Rapley try out new material in front of an invited audience, 3 more Residence artists will be presenting work at various stages of development. We want your feedback and we want your comments. What works, what doesn’t, what surprised you, what didn’t. Come along and stick your oar in.

As you may know I'm a member of a wonderful organisation called Residence. It's a collection of theatre companies who run and share office and rehearsal space with each other.

We are currently based at the Old Horfield Police Station under the wings of the lovely ArtspaceLifespace.com.

Not only do we exist in real life but we have have a presence on the web which goes beyond the mere myspace page which was our previous home. Now we can be reached at...

Rock and Roll scratch night-a-rama!

Just performed at a really well attended and wonderfully informal scratch night up at Residence. It was organised by the members of Kettle of Fish, a collaborative theatre company based at Residence, so that they could try out their latest work, Post-show, before they take it to Freshly Scratched at the BAC this Saturday: Details! Check the box office on 020 7223 2223.

They've got a high quality snippet of a show, with loads of beautiful visual and narrative elements. They had obviously done plenty of work making sure people knew about the show, because there must have been over 30 people in attendance.

I piggy backed on in there with 7 minutes of new material for 10 Ways to Die on Stage, which i will be doing up at the BAC's Freshly Scratched, this time at 8pm on the Friday night. Thank goodness I did because it has reassured me no end and as always the feedback helps the show develop. Special thanks on that point to Alex Bradley and Tom Wainwright for their comments.

It was just great to see the space being used in a creative way. It's a perfect venue for low to no pressure showings of work in progress.

Here's to a Residence double whammy of success this weekend!

SPONTANEITY*
A Residence Discussion Event

Residence is an artist-led organisation providing making space for
artists to create performance, live art and theatre in Bristol.

WHERE: Horfield Police Station, 6 Sommerville Road, Bristol, BS7 9AA
WHEN: Monday 12th November, 7:30pm

Every month in the Old Horfield Police Station we provide a chance for artists and theatre makers to meet, chat, network and help build and strengthen Bristol’s performance community.

Its that time again….. on the first Monday of October (that’s the 1st) Residence will host their monthly discussion event.

(Residence is a collection of artists/companies making space for live art and theatre makers in Bristol, who work out of the old Horfield Police Station in Bristol)

This month we’ll be mostly discussing whether the arts make life better, and if not, why not? Everyone is invited- artists, makers, audiences, producers, randoms (especially randoms!)

Currently the best thing I'm doing is helping to set up/expand Residence.

Residence is an ongoing project making space for artists to create performance and theatre in Bristol.

We have a beautiful rehearsal room which is available for hire. Check out the flyer for more info.
