THEATRE SEEN 2
Saturday 2nd October
Early September 2011 will see performances of a new site-specific and multi-media work in and around the buildings and spaces of the plaza outside MIMA.
That work has yet to be created.We know it will probably involve writers, actors, singers, filmmakers, musicians, multi-media artists and maybe some fireworks.
But right now all we have is a starting point created by writers at the Writer’s Block Launch on July 2nd 2010. What we now need are writers (and by "writers" we mean YOU), from whatever media, genre and experience, to begin the process of creating a work that will excite everyone involved – artists, audience, funders, sponsors, politicians, cynics, the young, the old – so that they will leave the event having had a night out they will talk about for years, energised, optimistic, ready to continue the transformation of their lives and the place in which they live and work.
Come along to this second meeting. All we ask you to bring is your imagination (and biscuits).
£3 10am – 1pm

FLIP FOR FILM CHALLENGE
Saturday 2nd October
We have Flip cameras and we're gonna use them! On the first Saturday of every month we will take a different theme or genre of film and in groups respond to that theme via the medium of fast filmmaking, learning as we create. Films will be written, shot, edited and screened in an afternoon. Flip!
£5 (incl. refreshments) 2-5pm
