Are you FUELLED BY THEATRE, music and words? If so
then follow us on Facebook FUELLEDBYTHEATRE or lead us
somewhere new!
Fuelled by Theatre is a new online hub for all
contemporary work touring in the region. A place where
theatre practitioners and promoters share innovative and
original work that inspires them to tour our region. The
original idea for the hub came from working alongside Manda
Graham as a local engagement specialist within Malvern for
national production company Fuel quoted by the Guardian as
'The maverick production company who are prepared to
invest in adventurous artists'. This adventurous role required
us to promote, inspire and grow new audiences to see Fuel’s
work and engage with it in new ways. The project, New
Theatre in Your Neighbourhood, has brought to Malvern
some of the most innovative and exciting work we have seen
and begins to put us on the map as a cultural centre for the
arts.
The project has enabled us to create Fuelled by Theatre
which with the help of other theatre enthusiasts will allow
audiences for contemporary theatre in the rural West
Midlands to keep in touch with what’s coming up in the area
such as Collidoscope at the Market Theatre, Ledbury in
July. People want to get involved, talk and be a part of
something. They enjoy a place where they can hang out with
a beer and chat in an informal atmosphere talking to other
audience members and performers at post show talks or
better still have a party with them at the end of the night!
New Theatre in Your Neighbourhood, funded by Arts
Council England and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, is
also supporting the new hub and its launch at what will be an
amazing night with a new touring piece 'Red Chair' at the new
Malvern Weekend Cube. On Friday 19th June at 8pm the
performance of 'Red Chair' by the incredible Clod Ensemble
will begin. This piece has comes to us with the generous
support of its co-producers Fuel and reinforces our ambition
to provide this quality of innovative work to our
neighbourhood in the future. This night will be a intimate and
glorious feast of storytelling, movement and delicious words.
It will be a night to get together, party and celebrate our
artistic community.
But if June the 19th seems too long to wait then we have an
idea. As part of the build up to the performance of 'Red Chair'
we invite you to take your part by coming and sharing your
own stories and myths. We will be placing our very own 'Red
Chair' within locations around Worcestershire and Malvern
over May and June. The first location is at the Worcester Arts
Workshop as part of Lazy Sunday on May 10th. For further
details ‘like' FUELLEDBYTHEATRE where you will find out
about all things related to the show and maybe win a free
ticket.
So, get creative and get Fuelled. See you at the party. Tickets
can be bought at Malvern Tourist Information or online
through the Malvern Cube website or Facebook page.
