    Scottee, The Worst of Scottee

    The Worst of Scottee

    Thu 17 Oct 7.30pm Full £10 | Conc £6 | Age 15+

    Scottee encounters past flames, ex-friends and people who no longer like him in attempt to find out where he went wrong. Scottee wants to find out what people really think of him. Why he pretended to have AIDS, what prompted him to steal money from his Nan, why did he pretend his friend committed suicide and what caused all this behavior in the first place? Performed in a photo booth you are exposed to four snap shots of his troublesome teens. This show will give you reasons not to like him – it is Scottee at his very worst.

    Scottee won Time Out Performer of the Year in 2010 and is currently an associate artist at Roundhouse and Duckie. He is a regular contributor on Radio 4’s Loose Ends and the creator of the ‘beauty pageant for fat people’ Hamburger Queen, variety show Camp and presenter of iTunes Top 10 podcast After The Tone. The Worst of Scottee is his debut solo tour.

    Directed by Chris Goode.

    Supported by Arts Council England. Developed with Roundhouse.

    “Director Chris Goode is a theatre-maker who’s up there with the very best”

    Performing Place Symposium

    The ShowRoom Chichester

    An Open Invitation:
    PERFORMING PLACE SYMPOSIUM

    Saturday 1st June 2013, Chichester University, Bishop Otter Campus, Chichester.
    9.30a.m. – 5.00 p.m.

    The Dance and Performing Arts Department at Chichester University invite researchers, practitioners, artists and post-graduate researchers to a 1 day symposium that will explore, celebrate, problematize and articulate notions of experiencing, encountering, articulating and ‘performing’ place through creative arts inquiry.
    The symposium will include installation and performance work, academic paper presentations, informal discussions and opportunities to engage in dialogue with colleagues interested in exploring practices and processes of experiencing and ‘performing’ place, and associated notions of (amongst others) site-specificity, embodiment, mobility, location, space, place and performativity.

    The symposium aims to stimulate a sharing of knowledge and ideas in an informal, playful and participatory manner.

    The event will take place on Saturday, 1st June 2013 at Chichester University, Bishop Otter Campus.

    CONFIRMED CONTRIBUTORS:

    • Fiona Wilkie: ‘Walking/cruising/motoring: performing place on the move’
    • Carl Lavery: ‘Postgeopathological Ecologies: Simon Whitehead and the Body as Home’
