BAPSE supported artist, Augusto Corrieri, will be performing at The Nightingale Theatre as part of Short Cuts on 3rd & 20th May, 7.00pm & 9.00pm. Tickets are £8.50 / £6.50. The evening will consist of four new performances by emerging artists Sonja Jokiniemi (Finland),Drunken Masks (UK), Augusto Corrieri (UK/Italy), and Matt Jackson (US). A dance performance of intimate portraits and plastic-like forms. A physical theatre piece looking at what happens when our masks break down. Short performance interludes that tease the audience's expectations. And a puppet's abstract attempt at overcoming his regrets and finding resolution. Experimental dance and physical theatre come together in the work of four companies, exploring what lingers in the ruins: fragments, failures, what we would rather forget. Every ending contains infinite beginnings. The end. Ok, lets begin… Also appearing at The Nightingale Theatre in May are, BAPSE supported artists, The Two Wrongies, consisting of Janine Fletcher and Avis Cockbill, presenting the world premiere of ‘THE CABINET OF CURIOSITIES', 14th & 15th May 7.30pm, tickets£8.50/£6.50. Two wrongs don't make a right, right? Wrong! Like flashers in the park, the Two Wrongies expose their most vulnerable bits of carefully crafted choreography and poignant patter, revealing memories and aspirations trapped inside a world of chaos and lunacy. The double act who dare to do the dirty… *contains wanton dance with gay abandon. The terrible twins of performance concoct their work in a melting pot of influences from performative and artistic disciplines. They use comedy, choreographed moments and a considered visual impact that is impossible to pigeonhole.Don't forget to check our website for profiles of our supported artists, details about our venues and archive information .
