Press Release February 2013 House Presents: the Wrong Crowd on Tour with the Girl with the Iron Claws Follow the tour @housetheatre @inthewrongcrowd #GirlWithTheIronClaws Press Release February 2013 house presents: The Wrong Crowd on tour with The Girl with the Iron Claws PRESS NIGHT: 25 APRIL 8pm LITTLE ANGEL THEATRE Growing up isn’t easy, especially when you’re in love with a bear. The Wrong Crowd’s debut show, The Girl with the Iron Claws, has been selected by house for an 11 week tour to venues around Eastern and South Eastern England. It will open its new run at London’s Angel Theatre on 23-25 April, and tour to 25 venues, as well as venues outside house’s remit, including Birmingham mac and Orkney’s St Magnus International Festival. It will finish with a six date run at London’s Arcola Theatre on 13th July. The Girl with the Iron Claws debuted at the Underbelly during the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and received rave reviews and a Total Theatre Award nomination. “a show with claws that proves Kneehigh hasn't cornered the market in putting wonder back into fairytales’’ Lyn Gardner, The Guardian “enchanting fairy tale… On the evidence of their debut, The Wrong Crowd are heading in the right direction’’ Metro The Girl with the Iron Claws, created by Hannah Mulder and Rachael Canning, is an inventive take on a dark Nordic fairy-tale, which shares its roots with Beauty and the Beast. At its heart is the wilful daughter of a king, who feels like a misfit. She dares to defy her family and to follow her longing. One night a compelling dream leads her deep into the forest, where an encounter with a white bear sets her on a fateful path she could never have anticipated. This coming-of-age tale is reinvigorated by The Wrong Crowd, featuring stunning puppetry, enchanting music and deft humour. Hannah Mulder: “When we made The Girl with the Iron Claws, it was in the spirit of ‘let’s give it a go’. It was a joyful piece to make and we had a ball, but we never expected it to still be touring two years later and reaching new audiences across the UK. It’s been a dream experience as a new company to find such a platform for our work and we’re really looking forward to rediscovering it with a brand new cast and sending it out into the world again with the brilliant support of house.” Cont./ Mark Makin, programme manager at house: “Our group of regional programmers felt very strongly that this production should be part of our 2013 season. It amazed and delighted audiences last year and we wanted to support The Wrong Crowd to produce another tour, and also share this gem with our audiences.” ENDS / For press images, tickets etc. please contact Vicky Bailey 07941 156448 vicky@housetheatre.org.uk Notes to Editors: 1.

  • ISPA International Society for the Performing Arts
    International Society for the ISPA Performing Arts TODAY’S FUTURE FOR THE ARTS NEW YORK CONGRESS JANUARY 8–10, 2019 Theatre buildings by theatre people for theatre people. Clockwise from top left: Linbury Theatre, Royal Opera House; The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare Theater; Hudson Theatre, Broadway; Studio Theatre, Bristol Old Vic. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF ISPA Dear Friends, ransitions. We all think about them. Some of us worry about them. But we are all impacted by them. As much as we may try to be present each moment of our days, it is the rare person who does not ponder what comes next. Transitions can be as exhilarating as they are scary. In these times of rapid-fire change and volatility (mostly beyond our personal control), it is Teasy to default to a position of wanting to hang on to what we know. Stay the course. Be steady. Reduce risk. WELCOME Yet continuing to do the same thing that works for us today may be the very act that fails us tomorrow. Our Congress Co-chairs Collette Brennan and Steinunn Ragnarsdóttir have given us a brilliantly provocative theme to consider with an array of thought-leaders from within our field and beyond offering varied perspectives on how we might navigate the inevitability of the transitions we encounter. For me, transitions is a particularly apt theme as I prepare to pass on the chairmanship of ISPA to our colleague Tisa Ho. As an ISPA member for 20 years and board member for most of that time, I have been fortunate to work with so many gifted members who have given selflessly in leading ISPA through incredible Transitions.

  • 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.

  • Report: How Can Arts Venues Be More Age Friendly and Make Work with Older People More Sustainable
    Report: How can arts venues be more age friendly and make work with older people more sustainable Introduction Barings tasked us with researching what theatre venues are doing to widen participation among the elderly. To achieve this outcome we talked to professionals about how engaging with the arts can be a health benefit for older people. We also visited seven participating venues in London to see various arts programmes in action. We amassed comment from participants as well as those leading the projects, with a view to sharing good practice and encouraging other arts organisations to consider introducing or improving a programme for the older age group - categorised as aged 55 plus. We specifically asked: what is going well and how has this been achieved; what are the challenges and barriers when working with an older age group; thoughts for the future? This qualitative research focussed particularly on the practical issues in creating a suitable space and welcoming ‘age friendly’ environment for more elderly people; for some organisations, working in outreach in care settings is the preferred alternative. The report also considers sustainability of projects and the importance of quantifiable evidence of the benefits to end users, including those isolated by dementia, living alone or in care settings. It highlights initiatives taken by each venue as a step towards pooling ideas and suggesting solutions to problems peculiar to this age group. Brief overview of programmes at each venue Albany Theatre hosts ‘Meet Me at The Albany’ each week in Deptford, Lewisham, with 20- year-old Entelechy Arts delivering various artistic activities, ranging from singing to model making.

  • RHIANNON FAITH – Choreographer/Director / Writer
    RHIANNON FAITH – Choreographer/Director / Writer Rhiannon Faith is a boundary-breaking Artist whose work and experiences cross artforms. She is an exciting British female voice, making waves in directing, choreography and most recently as a published author. In 2021 she has been nominated for a Woman in Dance Award. Rhiannon’s current project is a new gritty dance-theatre show entitled DROWNTOWN set in an unnamed coastal town covering isolation, loneliness, shame and failed support systems. The run at the Barbican in London for 2020 and the tour has been postponed due to COVID-19 and meanwhile as the show explores similar themes to those that are affecting people during lockdown, Rhiannon has created DROWNTOWN LOCKDOWN, a digital prologue film. The cast are filmed in their own homes, before they leave for the beach, the setting for the show. It was launched online by the Barbican Centre in July 2020. In 2019 Rhiannon was Movement Director for the spectacular award-winning outdoor event experience entitled FIRST TO FIGHT at Muzeum 1939 in Gdansk, Poland, in recognition of the 80th Anniversary of the beginning of World War II (The Drum Experience Awards). Video can be seen here. Rhiannon is the first ever Associate Artist at Harlow Playhouse. She was appointed in 2018 and has developed two new productions with Harlow including DROWNTOWN supported by DanceEast and Arts Council England. SMACK THAT (a conversation), also developed at Harlow Playhouse, toured from February 2019 and played at the Ovalhouse in London. The show also toured the UK in 2018 to critical acclaim and was nominated for Innovation in Dance at the One Dance UK Awards.

Do I need to remind you that this June sees the coming of the Olympics to our fair land? It’s been the subject of all sorts of debates and Reviews Editor grumbles within the arts world, but at last – for better or worse – the time is almost nigh. Beccy Smith magazine@totaltheatre.org.uk So, to provide a little background for those not from these parts, or those who are perhaps on a seven-year arts news hiatus: Given that the same government department that funds the arts is Advertising & also responsible for sport, the announcement, in 2005, of London’s successful Olympic bid for Subscriptions Manager 2012 was met with wary scepticism in some artistic quarters. Wouldn’t this mean that arts funding Christian Francis would suffer? We were reassured that alongside the Olympics would run the Cultural Olympiad, a info@totaltheatre.org.uk scheme that would create a whole succession of arts events that would circle the sports events that advertising@totaltheatre.org.uk in turn would circle the Olympics and Paralympics themselves.
