| Me, Myself and Miss Gibbs – Performances and Workshops at mac Posted: 15 Mar 2012 12:14 PM PDT Workshop @ mac, birmingham Francesca Millican-Slater is a Birmingham based artist, specialising in solo performance, story-telling and theatre. She is currently touring her show Me, Myself and Miss Gibbs, nationally. Object Workshop - People and Their Stuff: Participants are asked to bring an object that they own (this could be purchased, passed down or found) that they are intrigued by, but may have little knowledge of. They will be supported by Francesca to work through ways of researching and generating creative material in relation to that object, with the ultimate aim of creating a 2 – 3 minute story or performance. The workshop will focus on ways of devising, writing and performing original material as an individual. This workshop opportunity is offered on a first come first served basis, and is limited to 10 participants. To book your place please contact mac box office on 0121 446 3232 or book online Me, Myself and Miss Gibbs: In 2003, Francesca bought a second hand postcard for 50p. The postcard, sent from Lincoln to London was addressed to a Miss L Gibbs of 62 Douglas Buildings, Marshalsea Road, Borough. Sent on July 15th 1910, the message on the back simply reads: 'Be Careful Tomorrow. A.C.' Part detective noir, part lecture, part personal biography, Francesca investigates the message on a postcard sent 100 years ago and finds herself obsessed by the life of the woman that received it. What happens when she starts tracing a history that isn't her own? And why did Miss Gibbs have to be careful tomorrow? In Me, Myself and Miss Gibbs Francesca takes the audience with her on this intricate, amusing and fascinating journey, gently questioning how we remember those that went before us and how we might like to be remembered ourselves.

| Jane Packman Company – A Thousand Shards Of Glass Posted: 15 Mar 2012 09:09 AM PDT Jane Packman Company are bringing their new performance A Thousand Shards of Glass to @ AE Harris for three pop-up performances, 21-23 March. A Thousand Shards of Glass is a fast-paced intimate/epic adventure story, using words and sound to conjure a vivid world and provoke your imagination. In a world where nothing seems real, everything's a distraction and actions no longer matter, a young woman sets out on a preposterous mission – to change things for the better… It's an excuse for a helicopter sequence. It's about going on a mission and getting back home. FIRST NIGHT DOUBLE-BILL: On Wednesday 21st March – for one night only! – we're excited to be joined by Tassos Stevens (from Coney) performing his playful storytelling show Jimmy Stewart, An Anthropologist From Mars, Analyses Love And Happiness In Humans (And Rabbits). He says, "I'm playing a Martian Jimmy Stewart on a quest to understand love. You're the audience playing the planet Earth entirely from a sitting position with drink in hand (if you like). This is a piece of playful storytelling with an impossible sound system. It's played theatres, living rooms, lecture theatres, pubs, and parks: across the planet Earth. It's about the imperial unit of measurement of human feeling, a man who falls to Earth, and at least three other impossible things. And there's the odd joke." We haven't seen this yet, but we reckon it'll be a treat! PERFORMANCES: The performances take place Wednesday 21st – Friday 23rd March 2012 at 7:45pm @AEHarris, 110 Northwood Street, Birmingham, B3 1SZ BOX OFFICE: Tickets can be booked on 0845 680 1926 or online at www.oxboffice.com (Wednesday £12, Thursday & Friday £8). There is LIMITED CAPACITY for these shows – to avoid dissapointment we recommend booking in advance! See you there!          |
