Hello, hello, hello, what have we here then?
A round up of some mightily fun stuff, of course, if you like that kind of thing. Which I’m assuming you do, what with being on my mailing list and all!
First up – this is what I’m doing, and it would be great to have you along in the audience: Scratch Tyne returns on Sunday 20 May in our new, permanent home on Floor 6 of Commercial Union House. The view alone is worth the trek, even if the poetry wasn’t so damn gorgeous! And we continue with Scratch Tees, in our new and we hope permanent home in the mima café. What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than checking out some art, having a posh coffee and listening to poetry? This month with guest performances from the daddies of the Teesside scene, Bob Beagrie and Andy Willoughby. As usual, both events are preceded by our regular informal rehearsal clubs for anyone wanting to try performing their work.
Plus there are three fantastic spoken word nights coming up at ARC in May, which I know you won’t want to miss – first up is John Cooper Clarke, supported by Kate Fox and Mike Edwards on Saturday 12th; then there is some funny stuff including a re-telling of world classic literature in limericks from Andy Croft and Martin Rowson on Tuesday 22nd; and finally CountryBoy’s Struggle, a mixture of spoken word, hiphop and physical theatre happening on Wednesday 30th.
See you there!
