Hello friends,
It seems like only
yesterday that we were telling you of upcoming things in March and now we
are already in April! Another month bursting with events, workshops and
opportunities is here and we can't wait to share them with you!
HOW TO
... ADVENTURE!
 We’re delighted to announce that our 10th How To… festival
will take place at The Holbeck on Sunday 12th May and it's all about
Adventure. There’ll be various adventurous events for all the family to
enjoy over the course of the day and something for all ages.
The performances will be Little Soldier’s Journey To The Impossible at
4pm, an 80s sci-fi adventure for children as young as 7 and as old as
time, and Can
You See Into A Black Hole? (7+) at 7pm, a
one-man show about space-travel and understanding epilepsy by
Doncaster-born theatre maker Tom Ryalls.
Earlier in the day, we have a range of exciting participatory activities.
South Indian vegetarian cooking with Manjit’s Kitchen (16+), a
drop-in session of Den
Building from re-usable materials for all the family
on Holbeck Moor, and also on the moor we have an afternoon Skate Session for
all skaters, rollerbladers, BMXers and scooterers (12+). There’ll also be
a storytelling workshop based comic book structure called The Superhero Challenge (12+)
by Tom Ryalls, and at 6pm Manjit and her team will serve a delicious
dinner of South Indian street food. All are welcome, and as always at
Slung Low, you pay what you decide after taking part. You can book your
place for any of the events listed above by visiting here.
SHOWS
 t'Other, by Beggars Belief Collective will be in The Holbeck
on Sunday 28th
April. In a town like ours but not quite now, and
slightly off centre from here, Cass & Hillary go about their daily
business until their lives are disturbed by the arrival of a curious,
enigmatic & annoying stranger. A story of mistrust, intolerance, unexpected
friendship, and ultimately, love, t’Other is chaotic in its form, warm in
its heart and joyfully jaggedy in its anarchic style of storytelling. A
fable for our time. Tickets are still available, pick them up here.
 We are
thrilled to welcome Bezna Theatre and their show Illegalised,
performing on Sunday
5th May. Inspired and informed by interviews with
migrants, refugees and those seeking asylum, British-Romanian political
theatre collective BÉZNĂ Theatre’s ILLEGALISED is protest-theatre that
exposes the profit made from the illegalisation of human beings. For more
information and for tickets pop over to the show page here.
 Catch some of the most exciting stars of the UK's poetry
and spoken word scene on the 25th
and 26th April when Wordlife
hold a a two-night spoken word event. After the success of the
Northern Slamhouse last year, Words In The City have teamed up with
Brave Words to bring you an even bigger standalone event. Watch eight
poets slug it out for bragging rights to be named as the Words In The
City Slam Champion. The Slam event will feature headline slots from
Vanessa Kisuule & Gevi Carver and the Showcase will
feature Henry Normal and Malika Booke. For details about the both
the events pop over to our events page here.
COLLEGE
You may also be aware that our summer term programme for
the Cultural Community College has been released and there are still
places up for grabs on a variety of the courses including script writing,
performance, bike maintenance and costumes! If you would like to sign up
for a course or if you need more information then head over the the
college page here.
...And also remember to come join us for a drink, with draught and real
ale and say hi! As ever, you can keep in touch with us via Facebook and Twitter.

In this introductory storytelling workshop, we’ll chat about the
superheroes in our lives and explore how we tell stories. Then we’ll
start the clock and you’ll create a story based on a comic book
structure. You can make these scenes by any means possible – drawing,
taking photos, or even through Instagram posts – and at the end you’ll
have the chance to unleash your stories on the world. Book tickets here

‘Smart, fast and
very, very funny.’
Jules Verne meets The Goonies via Stranger Things – an 80s sci-fi
adventure story for all the family. Did you ever own a Walkman or
play Donkey Kong? We made this show for you. We made it for people, like
you, who recognise the
‘Pshhhkkkkkkrrrrkakingkakingkakingtshchchchchchchchcch*ding*ding*ding’
sound of a modem, who were scared watching the Goonies and who,
like us, couldn’t tell you the mobile numbers of their nearest and
dearest but would still be able to call their best school-friend’s home
number. Ah! And for your children, of course. Book tickets here
At 6pm – Dinner by Manjit's Kitchen
Enjoy a delicious, home-made, pay what you decide dinner of South Indian
street food.
At 7pm Can You See Into
A Black Hole by Tom Ryalls
12+
Tom once dreamed of being the first astronaut from Doncaster, he wanted
it so much the thought of it burned like a hot star in his head. But,
when he was 8 on a campsite near Scarborough that star went supernova and
formed a black hole that the astronaut he dreamed of fell in to.
Tom doesn’t remember his epileptic seizures so now, over 15
years after his first one, he’s going to try and reconstruct the story of
what happened. With the help of his parents he’s going to defy science,
reach into a black hole and reclaims the aspirations his epilepsy took
from him.
With a score
created from documentary interviews, music and the only surviving film of
one of his seizures, “Can You See into a Black Hole?” is a show about how
to achieve the impossible. Book Tickets here
Come and join the adventure!
