Definitely Marvelous - never to say, Improbable. Couldn't have happened to
nicer folks, and I will see you in NYC come January.

Dear Friends,

 

When I first experienced open space I remember siting similarities between
an open space event and the Edinburgh festival the biggest open space
theatre event in the world. Over the years the festival has continued and of
course has had varying degrees of open and closed space as big business
around shows and comedy moves in. This year Improbable held an open space at
the Forest fringe over two days. An amazing venue that reanimates the spirit
of the original fringe with its open schedule of free performances and not
charging its performers any hire fees. 

 

The event was exciting with great discussions about how to keep the spirit
of that venue going and sustainability but also as we saw our own OS
include performance as double bookings meant great discussions were
happening whilst performance was happening in the same space! 

 

At the end of the festival we were invited to the Total theatre awards and
were presented with a "Significant Contribution award"  The award is for
taking work into interesting areas however specifically mentions our work
with Open Space and our Devoted and Disgruntled events which have
contributed to supporting theatre artists.

 

"Their use of open space and the introduction of "Devoted and Disgruntled:
What are we doing about theatre" over the past four years has empowered
artists and theatre makers to address challenges facing the sector. They
have collectively shown a determined effort to reflect on and change the
world of theatre making and the world in which theatre is made."

 

Hurrah! We Also secured the finishing touches to the connections which means
we will be definitely doing a Devoted and Disgruntled in NYC this coming
January. Our big two day open space is about to cross the pond and will be
happening midtown. 

 

Exciting..

 

Phelim
