    Live Art Agency DIY Project

    Sun 3 Nov 7.30pm Admission free | Age 16+

    University of Chichester and Live Art Agency – DIY 10
    Acclaimed director and performer Neil Bartlett grew up in Broyle Close, just ten minutes away from the site of The Showroom. For six years, he cycled past it every day on his way home from school……Since then, his early notoriety ( performing naked in derelict warehouses; directing
    Complicite’s first award-winning show ) has lead to a career that has taken him to the Royal Court, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Royal Opera House and the Royal Vauxhall Tavern – not neccessarily in that order ! – and now , for the first time in nearly forty years, he’s coming back to Chichester to make a new piece of work.

    Working with a group of local young performers for just 48 intensive hours, Neil is going to dive back into his past and create a new piece of performance that explores what it feels like to come back to the streets and buildings that he knew so well as a small-town teenager. What does it feel like to go back ? Is going back a good way to start going forward again?

    I LIVE HERE is being developed by The Showroom in association with LADA’s DIY programme.
    This first scratch Sunday night showing of the piece will be free, with no booking required – just turn up on the night for a glimpse of a very special artist at work.

    China Plate presents Caroline Horton & Company – Mess

    Josephine is putting on a play – Boris and Sistahl help. It’s about anorexia. But don’t let that put you off. Unflinchingly they confront big issues (and extremely tiny ones). Today they will tackle a particularly thin elephant in the room. Obsession, addiction and not wanting to get out of bed: a play with songs from 2013 Olivier Award nominated Caroline Horton (You’re Not Like Other Girls Chrissy).

    Winner: Stage Award for Best Ensemble 2012.

    “Comes perilously close to genius and announces Horton as a major major talent”
    Time Out.
