Upper Campfield Market Hall looks like this from the
outside:
Inside you will see a performance of Switch + Tipping
Point.
This is the main entrance to Upper Campfield Market
Hall on Deansgate.
You will go through this gate:
This is the door you use to go inside. You may have to
queue before you go inside:
There will be Contact theatre staff there to show you
where to go. They will check your tickets. They will be
wearing t-shirts that look like this:
You can collect your tickets from the box office if you
haven’t already got them. You might need to wait in a
queue.
The box office will look a little bit like this:
Inside there will be places where you can buy food and
drink if you want to. There will be smells and sounds of
food cooking.
The food area looks a little bit like this:
This area might get busy before the performance.
While you’re here, you might need to use the toilet.
Look for this symbol to find the toilet:
There are lots of seats to sit on to watch the show:
The show starts when the lights will dim – but it won’t
go too dark.
The first part of the show is called Switch.
Nine people will come on stage. Their names are
Chloe, Joshua, Maddie, Joe, Ruby, Suraj, Callum, Kay,
Elizabeth. They are called performers.
The performers will be carrying large wooden sticks:
There will be live music. There will be loud noises.
If the show is loud you can wear headphones or put
your fingers in your ears. If you need a break, you can
leave the seating area at any time and go to a quiet
area. We will have a special area for you to go to.
The performers will do things with their bodies that
you may not have seen before including lots of tricks
with the wooden sticks.
Don’t worry, they will be safe.
The performers might look like they will touch the
audience with the sticks. Don’t worry, they won’t touch
the audience.
When the show is finished people will clap their hands
to say thank you to the performers. You can clap too if
you want.
This part of the performance will last about 20
minutes. After the first show there will be a break
(usually called the interval).
After the break there will be the second part of the
show. This is called Tipping Point.
Five people will come on stage. Their names are Alex,
Emily, Sadiq, Steve, Telma. They are called performers.
Some other people who will help the performers are
the director, producer and stage manager.
The performers will enter the stage with very long
white poles. They will do things with their bodies that
you may not have seen before including lots of tricks
on the poles.
They will do tricks on the poles high in the air, but
don’t worry, they’ll be safe.
They will also do other tricks in the air but don’t worry,
they’ll be safe.
If the show is loud you can wear headphones or put
your fingers in your ears. If you need a break, you can
leave the seating area at any time and go to a quiet
area. We will have a special area for you to go to.
This part of the show will last for about 1 hr and 5
minutes.
When the show is finished people will clap their hands
to say thank you to the performers. You can clap too if
you want.
Thank you for coming.
