As recommended in Lyn Gardner’s What to See blog!

Our piece about travel and boundaries, taking one audience member at a time on a walk into the unknown, will be at ICIA in Bath on 22nd March. You can book online or call 01225 386777 for one of the limited places to walk with us, or just call by our booth on the day to read and share your own journeys.

We’re also looking forward to some exciting conversations when we take the piece to Brighton for the exchange at the Caravan international touring showcase on 14th May.

WLTM

We’ve just spent an intense weekend in the studio, workshopping a variety of autobiographical ideas. Our participants were hugely generous in sharing themselves and their pasts, as well as really interesting people we hope we’ll see more of!

On Friday 25th May, our own WLTM show, about relationships, has its first outing as part of the Hunt & Darton cafe — more details coming soon.

Workshop opportunity

Posted on by

Join us for a weekend workshop on autobiography, 10-11 March.

Over two days, we’ll explore ways to use autobiographical material to make art. The workshop will focus on unpicking romantic relationships, but the ideas can be transferred to making work of all kinds. We’ll think about generating material, experimenting with form, how to involve an audience and how far to edit. We’ll spend lots of time in the studio, but there will also be exercises which take us out into the city to have real encounters. The first day will concentrate on generating material, and a variety of ways to uncover and make work from our own histories. The second day will be focused on shaping the material we have made and exploring further our relationship to relationships.

Participants will need to be open to sharing personal material, and might have backgrounds in performance, theatre, live art, dance, writing or in the visual arts – there’s certainly no need to be a performer.

To apply, write a personals ad about yourself (it doesn’t need to be serious, but it should be true and no more than 40 words) and up to 200 words about why you’d like to take part, including how it might be relevant to your work. Send these, with your name and contact details, to wltm@twodestinationlanguage.com as soon as possible – a few last places still available.

Date: 10-11 March (Saturday 10am-6pm, Sunday 10-4pm)
Location: Salisbury Arts Centre
Cost: £15 for southwest-based artists (subsidised by CEW), £45 for others

Journeys in Bath

Posted on by

We had a fantastic afternoon and evening with all sorts of students, artists, programmers and an audience excited to see a range of innovative performance work as part of Practice at ICIA University of Bath last night.

Thirty ducks and one heron were unexpected collaborators showing an excellent sense of timing as we took people on our Journey of a Home, and once again we’ve collected their responses to the piece and will be sharing them online just as soon as we’ve got them scanned.

The evening also brought interest in further showings, so we hope to have news of further dates soon!

Practice is tomorrow and we can’t wait!
