We’re not taking a show to Edinburgh this August. We have a summer of plotting, planning, holidays, decorating and writing ahead of us, before an autumn of touring and mentoring, and a new show in 2018…
But there are many Third Angel artists and collaborators and friends with work at the Fringe, plus a number of artists who we are currently or have recently mentored. So if you’re going, do check some of them out.
From Third Angel artists and collaborators:
Chris Thorpe has a new play with Rachel Bagshaw and China Plate:
The Shape of the Pain at Summerhall
plus readings of
Your Best Guess with our Portuguese family mala voadora (above) at Cameo Live
and his new piece
Status with Rachel Chavkin at the Traverse and Northern Stage.
Gillian Jane Lees is co-director of Proto-type Theater, who are at Summerhall with
A Machine They’re Secretly Building.
Artists who we’ve mentored recently, all presenting some lovely work this year:
Yolanda Mercy’s
Quarter Life Crisis is at The Underbelly.
The Mayers Ensemble’s
What If I Told You is at Army @ The Fringe in association with Summerhall
Charlotte Blackburn’s
Edgar & Me is at ZOO Southside.
Daniel Bye’s
Instructions for Border Crossing
is part of Northern Stage at Summerhall.
Action Hero are performing their six-hour epic, Slap Talk, twice!
And LaPelle’s Factory are presenting their new show The Black Cat at Underbelly.
If I *was* going to the Fringe I would definitely be going to see:
Selina Thompson’s
salt which is part of Northern Stage at Summerhall.
…and checking out some other Sheffield/Leeds pals’ shows:
Javaad Alipoor’s The Believers Are But Brothers
(Northern Stage at Summerhall)
Forest Sounds’ The Church of Jim is on at
The Black Market Room (The Free Fringe)
Heather Morgan and Lucy Haighton’s BEAM
is also at ZOO Southside.
Aletia Upstairs’ The Artist as Explorer at Summerhall.
Eggs Collective Get Around also at Summerhall (okay, they’re Manchester but they’ve been to Leeds recently, and did great work with my students).
And, let’s face it, I would be spending as much time as possible at the 250 hour durational role playing game performance ADVENTURERS WANTED at Sweet Holyrood.
