    All the performers are giving their services in support of St Wilfrid’s Hospice. We are extremely grateful to Richard Alston, CBE, one of the most celebrated and revered figures of British contemporary dance, for agreeing to host the evening. He is Artistic Director of The Place, the UK’s premier centre for contemporary dance, and internationally recognised as one of the most inspiring and influential choreographers in British dance. Richard holds an honorary MA from the University of Chichester. This gala is a celebration in memory of my beloved husband Tony, who was a great supporter of contemporary dance and, especially, of dance at the University of Chichester. He died in April 2012. In his last months we were both sustained by the wonderful staff of St Wilfrid’s Hospice.

    Amusements 2013

    Amusements

    Thu 2 May 7.00pm & 8.30pm 60 places per performance. Full £10 | Conc £6 | Age 16+

    Like some backroom carnival ride / lo-fi sci-fi pleasure machine, Amusements is an intensely sensorial and breathlessly seductive one-woman headphone-theatre spectacular that asks what exactly we might want from our entertainment, and what it might want from us. Good day all. Tried Cialis http://hesca.net/cialis/ few days ago, since I wanted to make the macho impression. It was great, for the effect, my strength returned. This thing is great, totally loved it! The feeling when you go on while she’s cumming again and again is just amazing. I for sure recommend it. With the audience plugged wirelessly into its beating heart the performance is both a hypnotic dance towards the limits of pleasure and an unsettlingly voyeuristic tribute to our private desires, an escapist’s wet dream which grapples sleepily along the way with the dizzying highs and terrifying boredoms of the early 21st century: the soporific hum of mass communication; the television’s warm embrace. “You are an audience. You are a machine for watching. Remember everything … ”
