An evening of small scale interactive performances and artworks
Micro Performance is an experimental performance structure developed by Rebecca Birch as part of an exploration into modes of communication and the intimacy of direct conversation.
For this special evening in the Montague Arms, the performers will abandon the main stage and interact in an intimate and yet informal manner with people in the pub. Performers will wander through the audience or sit at tables and invite small groups to join them. You are invited to take your drinks around the bar to share a drink with each of the performers. Expect personal serenades, table-top games, tall tales tellers, roaming side show performers and conversations with unusual creatures.
Neil Luck: “Spectacles”
Neil Luck performs a series of miniature musical ‘spectacles’. These
intimate feats of speed, endurance and dexterity are all executed
blindfolded accompanied by backing tapes and Dictaphones recordings.
Laura Mugridge: 'Just Us',
Laura Mugridge is a comedien interested in small, intimate
performance, combining storytelling and comedy. She is currently in
the process of creating a piece to be performed in her 1978 VW camper
van.
Folie a Trois
Folie a Trois will make a new work
. Folie a Trois are artists Lili Spain, Sarah Grainger-Jones and the
creative puddle between. They work with performance, live art, spoken
word and intervention to create surreal, macabre and absurd
performances using a range of found objects and ephemera. They
reference mythology, fairy tales and psychology. Folie a Trois are in
many ways a psychiatric curiosity...
