The Just Price Of Flowers , 15 Jun 2012 - 30 Jun 2012

Sat, 24 Sep 2011 10:00:42 +0000

15 Jun 2012 - 30 Jun 2012 - Theatre at AE Harris Factory Building

A play about the 2008 financial collapse, set in 17th Century Netherlands, inspired by Rembrandt, featuring origami and paying homage to the great theatre maker Bertolt Brecht.

Tulips were imported into Europe in the early 17th Century at a time when merchants were generating wealth by through trade. Collecting exotic items was a fashion. A passion developed for tulips, their price rose and as the price rose the possibility of making profit through speculative buying of Tulips arose. For a brief time certain tulip bulbs were sold for prices equivalent to those of a house, or three years of a craftsman’s wage. In 1637 this financial bubble burst.

Using Tulipmania as its inspiration, The Just Price of Flowers plots the growing complexity and spiraling profits of contemporary high finance to the point of the most recent financial meltdown in 2008.

This is an austerity production, made fast and cheap. Its aesthetic is drawn from Rembrandt and theatrical form inspired by Bertolt Brecht.

Birmingham-based Stan’s Cafe has been devising thoughtful and engaging theatre since 1991.Their consistently inventive and playful approach has taken them to the forefront of European experimental theatre, performing worldwide to popular and critical acclaim.

It has been extremely important to work without hierarchies. Music isn’t just used as an accompaniment, but it should be dealt with as independently as a text, a movement or an image.

Walden is a magical reflection on Henry David Thoreau's account of his retreat to simple living and self-sufficiency, his experiences over two years in a cabin he built near Walden Pond close to Concord, Massachusetts, and his marvelling at nature. His experience was an attempt to 'live deep and suck out all the marrow of life', emphasizing the importance of solitude, contemplation, and closeness to nature. Hugely influential, Walden made Thoreau the 'grandfather of both modern environmentalism and civil disobedience'.

Be the first to see a handful of trainee comedians at their first-ever live gig!

For 5 weeks half a dozen would-be comedians will be in the hands of comedian and local poet Laureate Theo Theobald learning how to be funny, write and rehearse their own material with the support of a group of like minded 'first timers' and get some individual coaching time.

Hopefully they will establish a comic persona, develop timing & technique and try out new material. The finale to the course is this show in the Studio in front of a live audience offering them the chance to experience what stand up comedy is all about.

23 Jun 2012 - Club at Hare & Hounds

This time we are delighted to welcome the huge talent of DEAN COLE who found himself spread all across the world under the USER moniker.

As a huge techno export from Birmingham to the entire globe, especially Japan, Eastern Europe, Germany, USA and Spain, Dean tore up the dancefloor as the USER guise, and as himself writing for his CORROSION records.

USER always trod a line of more 'tracky' tracks, the sort of records that were brought to life by the skills on early sets using the MPC2000 and by any DJ worth his salt in the area of techno turntablism. A pure scratchers dream, these tracks were a pleasure to chop up and manipulate for the crowd.
