Celebrating ten year anniversary of mapdance Welcome Hello and welcome to ShowCase magazine – if this is the first time you’ve picked up a copy, let us explain ourselves: inside are hundreds of upcoming musical and theatrical shows and art exhibitions held in and around Chichester throughout the next few months.

We’ve compiled a list of the finest performances from aspiring actors and musicians: each of whom will be showcasing their talents at different venues across the city. Don’t forget to grab a pen and note down the dates of some of these concerts – there really is something for everyone this year.

Of course ShowCase is not just about highlighting upcoming shows. Within this issue we are celebrating ten years of our international touring company mapdance . The troupe, within which resides our MA students, is this year working with eminent choreographer Richard Alston as well as other global stars for the launch of a new worldwide show.

There is also news of a new romance-turned-science fiction motion picture which has been created by staff from our Department of Film and Media. Submerged follows a young submariner during his desperate bid to free himself from a sunken World War Two vessel before his oxygen supply runs dry.

Furthermore, we speak with an innovative videogame songsmith who has been working with the creators of some of the biggest- selling platforms – such as Metal Gear Solid and Super Mario Bros - to compose the backing tracks of the next generation of action-adventures.

In the meantime have a look at some of the hundreds of upcoming musical and theatrical shows taking place throughout the next year. For more about our events, as well as the latest news from our aspiring actors and musicians, visit our listings page at www.chi.ac.uk/events .

A psychedelic ride, and a wonky homage to the woman damned for destroying the Beatles, O No! borrows Yoko Ono’s art instructions to ask whether falling in love is always catastrophic. A sell-out success and one of the most talked about shows of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2015.

Funny and surprising in equal measure this show from a multi-award winning theatre maker, is about reckless optimism, avant-garde art and what we might yet have to learn from the hippies.

SHOW CASE | 31 Chris Dobrowolski: Antarctica Thursday 10 March, 7.30pm The ShowRoom, Bishop Otter Campus, Chichester.

Antarctica is the most inhospitable climate in the world. It’s the driest, windiest place on Earth, synonymous with failed expedition attempts, with no artists for miles around. A place that Chris Dobrowolski decided was perfect for him.

For three and a half months Chris lived and worked alongside the medical professionals, researchers and crewmembers at the British Antarctic Survey, trying to experiment creatively whilst (crucially) trying to survive. He discovered that sometimes it’s very difficult to justify your position as an Artist whilst everyone around you is a Hero.

Antarctica is an adventure story- presentation about professional failure and navigating real life via tales of overzealous seals, Ladybird books and a sledge built out of gold picture frames.
