Bus Stop Goths at Slung Low, Holbeck, Leeds

 Coming up this Saturday:

Date: Saturday 25th April Time: 7.30pm Fantasy meets punk with a Teesside twist. A joyfully chaotic celebration of youth expression and identity. Join celestial beings Sid and Viv as they keep a watchful eye on the streets of Middlesbrough. Their office might be in a dingy basement, but the streets they look in on are far from drab and gloomy.  There are fascinating human beings out there, some are not like the others, they’ve formed their own groups, their own cultures, their own small societies.  What will Viv and Sid discover about these sub-cultures from looking in on them? And more importantly what will they discover about themselves? Following sell out performances in 2024, ARC Stockton Associate Artist Audrey Cook is bringing back Bus Stop Goths for exclusive performances in Teesside before going on a national tour. With homes feeling uninhabitable, and youth services thinning, Bus Stop Goths is a surreal modern folktale which centres around alt youth and their sacred outdoor spaces in which they reside.  Important Information The performance will be inside but the venue does reflect the weather outside so please dress for the weather!  The Warehouse In Holbeck is on Crosby Street, Holbeck, LS11 9RQ. The entrance is on Rydall Place just round the corner. The nearest bus stop is on Holbeck Moor Road and we have bike storage facilities. If travelling by car, please park on Ingram Road as parking immediately around the Warehouse is residents-only. There is no charge for on-street parking. Wheelchair users and those with limited mobility are welcome to park on Crosby Street.  The venue is step-free, with an accessible toilet and a baby-changing facility provided. There will be a bar as well a hot drinks available. The show is Pay What You Decide. You pay after the event, in cash or by card.
