mysterious expanse of flat land.

Fresh from the success of 30 Cecil Street at

PUlSe 11, this is a unique chance to catch a

new group piece from Dan Canham, at its

formative stage.

What does harmony

actually sound like?

join artist holly rumble as she attempts

to investigate the musical clues in Varo’s

painting harmony.

remedios Varo was a Spanish-mexican

surrealist painter. her painting ‘harmony’

shows a figure arranging objects on a

musical stave, including shells, stones,

diamonds, mathematical figures, and a

turnip. holly rumble will systematically

investigate the musical potential of each of

these objects, using live pseudo-scientific

experimental techniques.

EXPOsuRE exposure is the first work in an enquiry into

looking. it is the beginning of an investigation

into how we look, how we are looked at and if

we can ever really be seen. This intimate one

to one performance is a tender and tentative

look into autobiography, asking how fully we

can reveal ourselves - to ourselves, to another,

with another.

jo Bannon is a Bristol based artist making

live art and performance. She has presented

work in the UK and europe and is an

Arnolfini associate artist and a founder

member of residence.

Audience responses to Exposure:

“Moving, provocative and brave…”

“…a very profound, resonant

and rich piece.”

LOvE’s LAbOuR's LOsTAt the court of navarre the young King and three of his courtiers deny all pleasures to give full attention to their studies. But the Princess of France and her ladies-in-waiting have other ideas. it isn’t long before young love - happy, embarrassing and awkward - has caused all the men to break their own rules.By translating the rich, pun-riddled text of love’s labour’s lost into the physical language of BSl, Deafinitely Theatre create a new interpretation of Shakespeare’s comedy, accessible to theatregoers of all backgrounds.

Deafinitely, who have performed many times at Soho Theatre, aim to build a bridge between deaf and hearing worlds by performing to both groups as one audience. Fresh from two performances at The Globe for the World Shakespeare Festival.

tHE BP StORY Researched and Edited by} Mimi Poskitton the 20th April 2010 the macondo oil well in the Gulf of mexico exploded. Unable to cap the well, oil continued to flow for 3 months releasing 53,000 barrels per day into the gulf. Two years later the story and impact of the explosion is still on-going. The Deepwater horizon Spill has been described as the largest accidental marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry. Using interviews gathered from families of the victims and survivors to local fishermen and Peak oil scientists this documentary theatre piece hears word for word how everyday people have coped with this disaster. look left look right recounts the explosion and the aftermath through the eyes of those directly and indirectly affected.

The majority of people have always struggled make enough money but since the great recession of 2008 the problems of debt, finance and unemployment have affected all of us a whole lot more.

The piece takes inspiration from an extract from

wishes of its people to break away from the mainland –

despite efforts to detain it. The show explores what

happens when communication reaches breaking point.

The tumour didn’t return but johnny, as the time passed, felt odd… as if, perhaps, he wanted to go underground; as if air were circling round his head like wind, or echoes in a wood. This is johnny head-in-Air, whose head never closed up. it’s a new performance in development from The mechanical Animal Corporation.

GOOd BOY

This performance is an ode to French writer and radical thinker jean Genet and his position as an outcast of society. Using images from Genet’s writing and his short film Chant d’Amour, joseph dances a solo that explores Genet’s profound ability to question authority and to find alternative ways of living, thinking and loving.joseph blends text with dance, fractured narratives with striking images, and links the story of this renegade and politically engaged intellectual of the 20th century with his own life experiences.

EMILY’s vERY sAD PLAY or....The Woman Who Turned Into A bookA funny, interesting play about lies, mental health and misunderstood philosophy. emily tries to remember her story, but cannot separate it from the stories she has read. is it her punishment? is she mad? or is it a sensible retreat from the insanity of life. A comedy play about untruths and fictions.

A work in progress written and performed by highly acclaimed British writer, stand-up comedian and actress, Sara Pascoe, Sara has appeared in a number of television programmes, including Campus, Stand Up For The Week, The Thick of it and Twenty Twelve and Being human. Sara has written for Girl Friday on Channel 4 and Project Pirate on radio 4.

33tatty-del Tom Marshman

in summer 2011 tatty-del held a crisis

meeting in the Cafe at the royal Festival hall

where, in the face of serial disappointment

and existential uncertainty, natalie tried to

‘break up’ with hana and move on with her life.

Agreeing to give their collaborative

relationship one last shot the pair set out

to discover what it takes to hold two people

together. They read self-help books, met with

a couples’ counsellor, trawled their ex-best-

friendships to identify where they’d gone

wrong and looked back to their childhoods to

examine how they’d learnt to handle conflict.

We will measure distances in shared ground,

potential peaks, pitfalls and tectonic shifts

which may push two people together or pull

them further apart. We’ve heard that each

person is an island, we want to learn what it

takes to build bridges, lock lands and meet

together at the sea-shore.

TATTY-DEL ARE MAKING IT WORK

lEGS 11 Tom Marshman is mingling with fashionistas… but will his winning smile pull him through?like most men, Tom has an ambiguous

relationship with his legs. So imagine

his surprise when he was shortlisted

for the Pretty Polly competition looking for the best legs in the country.

Tom has suffered from varicose veins for a number of years, causing

discomfort, embarrassment, and a particular awareness of his legs. A newly found confidence encouraged

Tom to delve into a world of celebrity,

stockings, photoshoots, beauty pageants and gender misadventures.

in this intimate performance, Tom conveys a brave story of misfits and

transformation, hospital visits and rejuvenation.

“A lively, fun and

engaging piece of

Keine Angst is a piece about fear; about what it feels like and what it means to be afraid, about sensible fears and illogical anxieties, about fear as galvanising and as debilitating. it is a funny, touching, and intensely honest performance, about whether it is ever really good to be scared, and about how to be brave.Plus a 10 minute Work-in-ProgressA CURE FOR AGEING (working title)A piece about years, growth, and the passing of time, and how our age does or does not define us.
