The
Mayers Ensemble – What if I Told You?
Thursday
8th June, 7.30pm
Tickets: £10
full/£6 concessions/£4 discounted
A
West Yorkshire Playhouse, LittleMighty and Theatre in the Mill
co-production.
Throughout
Pauline’s life, people have made assumptions about her based on
her gender, background and race. She’s defied these
expectations at every turn, tearing up the narrative that
society tried to impose on her. Now, Pauline is finally ready
to tell the world her story. Carefully balancing dance and
theatre, What If I Told You? immerses us in Pauline’s world as
she invites us to pause, breathe and reconsider the stories we
tell about our past and the history on which we build our
futures.
Pauline Mayers is a choreographer and theatre-maker, who
creates shows that come to life at the meeting point of dance
and theatre.
Written
and Performed by Pauline Mayers. Director Chris Goode.

Freelance Producers Needed
Looking
for exciting and unique projects to produce? Interested in
expanding your practice? Passionate about supporting the work
of diverse and different artists?
A
number of learning disabled artists based in West Yorkshire are
looking for Freelance Producers to work on a variety of
fantastic projects. Some projects are G4A funded and need a
Producer immediately to come in and hit the ground running by
helping to deliver the 'make and premiere’. Others are at the
beginning of the development process and need a creative
Producer to help refine ideas, identify touring venues and
submit funding bids.
All
the artists work regularly with Mind the Gap, based in
Bradford. However these are not Mind the Gap projects. The
artists' work is their own, and they need to collaborate with
brilliant people to make it happen.

Theatre present their Northern Theatre Laboratory's One Day
Edition at the Theatre at the Mill, Bradford.
Saturday
3rd June, 10am-4pm
The
NTL incorporates Animikii Theatre training exercises and
combines it with an ultimate beginners' course for physical
performance.
In
the day long Lab you will be given time to become active
researchers of a deeper study into the actor's craft that includes ‘Adaptive
& Precision’ based training and how we can evolve our
individual practice into a larger ensemble, and engineer great
change and open new transformative possibilities on stage. You
will study the mechanics of ‘Embodiment & Imagination’ and
the liberating process of enhancing the use of fundamental
resources. This day long edition of the NTL will expedite
your performance results both on stage and within the rehearsal
room.
Most
importantly you will be given the space to generate and build
the actor you would like to become in an open, engaging and
pressure free environment.

Sing
and Louder Sing - 509 Arts
Friday
16th June, 7.30pm
Written
by Mike
Kenny and directed by Alan Dix
with
music by James
Frewer
and
photography by Shanaz
Gulzar
If
you're the only one who's still around
All your friends are gone, or under the ground.
How come you were the last
Remembering the past?
You just stand and stare
And wonder if it happened, were you ever really there?
What’s
it really like to be an old man? Entering your seventh,
eighth or ninth decade? 509 Arts presents the latest
iteration of Sing & Louder Sing, their latest work
exploring the inner landscape of the older man and drawing on
the diverse voices of ageing men from the local
area. The event will include script-in-hand
readings, songs and projections and the launch of
an accompanying publication,
Sing
& Louder Sing blends testimony, music, myth, humour,
photography and the science of ageing to create an event where
the older man is seen in a different light – human and exposed,
a synthesis of experience and fortune, fate and accident; a
biological clock that is inevitably destined to stop.
“You
are wondering when It’s going
to happen, what’s going to happen – it’s a road you’ve got to
travel alone. “
Sing
& Louder Sing has been commissioned by Theatre in the Mill
to mark the 50thanniversary of the founding of the
University of Bradford.
