Mike Mantler and Carla Bley, being the only two non-leader members of the Guild, had decided to organize an orchestra made up of musicians both inside and outside the Guild. This group, then known as the Jazz Composer's Guild Orchestra and consisting of eleven musicians, began rehearsals in the downtown loft of painter Mike Snow for its premiere performance at the Guild's Judson Hall series of concerts in December 1964. The orchestra, set up in a large circle in the center of the hall, played "Communications no.3" by Mike Mantler and "Roast" by Carla Bley. The concert was so successful musically that the leaders decided to continue to write for the group and to give performances at the Guild's new headquarters, a triangular studio on top of the Village Vanguard, called the Contemporary Center. In early March 1965 at the first of these concerts, which were presented in a workshop style, the group had been enlarged to fifteen musicians and the pieces played were "Radio" by Carla Bley and "Communications no.4" (subtitled "Day") by Mike Mantler. -
Fru Skagerrak
FRU SKAGERRAK www.fruskagerrak.com The music of Fru Skagerrak takes you on a journey through Scandinavia; from lowlands to mountains, from slow airs to lively polkas, in major and in minor, and everything in between. Fru Skagerrak- ”Lady Skagerrak” - are three master musicians - one from each Scandinavian country: Maja Kjær Jacobsen from Denmark, Elise Wessel Hildrum from Norway and Anna Lindblad from Sweden. In 2011, these three globetrotting musicians met for the first time at Tønder Festival, Denmark’s biggest Folk Festival, in a roaring session that had engulfed the backstage bar. Through the mayhem of tunes you could feel a certain Scandinavian groove, and in that moment the connection between these three fiddlers was clear. After meeting at Tønder Festival for three consecutive years, Fru Skagerrak finally saw the light of day in August 2014. The trio brings together the diverse traditions from each of their homelands, which surround the Skagerrak strait. Through a repertoire of traditional tunes, new compositions, and songs in their respective languages, they express their kinship and love of their shared heritage. The result is an explosion of the sounds that exist in Scandinavian music today. The self-titled debut album was released in May 2016 and their second album “Ankerdram” was released in April 2018. What the press says about Fru Skagerrak’s albums: "The album brims over with confidence and bravura, and the material and performances to match. There's astonishing power and fire in the unison playing, and even the oddities come out grinning. A definite triumph" - fRoots (UK) Contact: Fru Skagerrak – www.fruskagerrak.com – [email protected] - T: +45 2537 1544 p. -

Poleroid Theatre Presents PLASTIC by Kenneth Emson
Poleroid Theatre presents PLASTIC By Kenneth Emson TOURING SPRING-SUMMER 2017 A shitty little town in Essex. A summer’s day. Amid the prefect badges and empty B&H packets, a secret lurks that will send shivers down the spine of a small community. By award-winning television and screen writer Kenneth Emson, Plastic is an extraordinary, heady mix of drama and performance poetry, a dynamic new verse play looking at the musicality in the everyday; the first moments of adulthood, the hard edge of school abuse, the creation of urban folklore and the seemingly random moments that come to define our adult lives. Today’s the day Yes it is Reebok Classic of a day today Yes. It. Is. Directed by Josh Roche (RSC/Globe/nabokov/Finborough) and produced by acclaimed, triple Off West End Theatre Award- nominated Poleroid Theatre, Plastic previewed to a packed house at Latitude Festival 2015. Plastic’s debut production starred Katie Bonna (Dirty Great Love Story), James Cooney (Bottleneck), Adam Gillen (Benidorm/Fresh Meat) and Scott Hazell (Mudlarks). ‘Top of this week’s list for all theatre-goers.’ Bargain Theatre London ‘An extraordinary piece of theatre’ Female Arts ‘Touching and beautifully written’ Postscript Journal We are now planning an extensive small-scale UK tour in Spring-Summer 2017, with support from the Mercury Theatre in Colchester and High House Production Park in Thurrock, pending an ACE application.

West Side Story
1 WEST SIDE STORY Baseret på koncept af JEROME ROBBINS Efter bog af ARTHUR LAURENTS Musik af LEONARD BERNSTEIN Tekst af STEPHEN SONDHEIM Entire Original Production Directed And Choreographed by JEROME ROBBINS Originally Produced on Broadway by Robert E. Griffith and Harold S. Prince By Arrangement with Roger L. Stevens Presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International (Europe) FORESTILLINGSSPONSOR VILHELM KIERS FOND 2 3 4 5 Det er volden og den diffuse trang til oprør, der giver ekko i West Side Story mindre end to år efter, James Dean har personifi ceret den dysfunktionelle, vol- delige amerikanske ungdomskultur i fi lmen Rebel without a Cause – og det er ikke kun West Side Storys ”rastløse, elektrifi cerende” dans, avisens anmelder hentyder til med sin tale om en eksplosion. Her er pludselig en musical, der tager et beskidt emne som bandekrig op og gør det til genstand for et kunst- værk. Noget, der overskrider grænserne for almindelig, pæn underholdning. Leonard Bernsteins på én gang ”provokerende og kunstfærdige” musik er med til at etablere et brud med underholdningsmaskinen Broadways eskapistiske selvforståelse. Et brud, der chokerer publikum lige så voldsomt, som Carmen gjorde det, da Bizets opera om fatal kærlighed mellem en fattig fabriksarbejder og en soldat ramte Paris i 1875. Kombinationen af Jerome Robbins’ pågående koreografi og Bernsteins dristige rytmer detonerer simpelthen som en bombe. At bruge dans som drivmiddel i en musical – og så oven i købet kombinere det med musik, der trækker på den store symfoniske tradition og operaens univers – er uhørt. Det gør West Side Story til ”en modig ny slags musikteater – en New York-juke- box-opera”, som en anden avis formulerer det. -

Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue Is a Signifi Cant Theatre-Specifi C Environmental Project Being Run by the Theatres Trust
Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue is a signifi cant theatre-specifi c environmental project being run by The Theatres Trust. It aims to improve the environmental performance of forty-eight London theatres and raise awareness of how to make theatres greener. Ecovenue is promoting the sustainability of theatres and the reduction of carbon emissions through the provision of free theatre-specifi c, environmental advice. The project started in 2009 and runs until 2012. Forty-eight venues each undergo an Environmental Audit, and receive a Display Energy Certifi cate (DEC) and Advisory Report. They track their energy use through SMEasure. Each venue receives a second DEC a year after their fi rst to measure progress. Ecovenue includes a ‘DEC Pool’ of performing arts venues across the UK that have obtained DECs. The DEC Pool helps us to evaluate the project and share best practice and information, establish meaningful benchmarks, and provide a better understanding of energy use of theatres. Any theatre can join the DEC Pool. The Trust’s Theatres Magazine provides quarterly reports on the participants and the work of the Ecovenue project. The Theatres Trust Ecovenue project receives fi nancial support from the European Regional Development Fund.
