Apocryphal Theatre lab is an international group of performers, dancers, visual artists and musicians dedicated to unearthing the reality-grid of right now, both public and private. Along with being resident at Camden People's Theatre, we are represented by Lorem Ipsum Gallery, which attests to how our work and our individual artists create within and between the worlds of art, performance and experimental theatre. We hope you are interested in Apocryphal, but If you would rather not receive this newsletter, please feel free to unscubscribe. Apocryphal Festival - November at Camden People's Theatre: We are excited to be presenting presenting a festival from 8-16 November in collaboration with Camden People's Theatre (cptheatre.co.uk), showing work of our individual and group work. We are glad to be able to showcase the multiplicity of voices that make up Apocryphal, and hope you will join us. You may have seen some of this work in early stages at our very successful mini-festival at Lorem Ipsum Gallery in January-February 2008, and you can now see how it has developed. On Saturday 15 November you can get a sneak preview of Besides, you lose your soul or the History of Western Civilisation as Apocryphal members perform an improvised response to this new text by Julia Lee Barclay, which we will be performing in February 2009 at CPT. This will be a pay what you can fundraising event for that project, so please come along if you are able. Drinks and sparkling conversation after the show so you tell us how you really feel.&nb sp; For more information about the festival, you can check out the schedule and show descriptions on our website: <>http://www.flyingoutofsequence.org/mini-festival-II.html Workshop at Festival - open call for participation: As part of the festival, Julia Lee Barclay will offer a workshop to teach the tools created by the Apocryphal lab in London (2004-present) and in labs she led in NYC at The Present Company from 1997-2002. The workshop will culminate in participants creating their own scores using the Apocryphal tools for an informal showing on the final day of the festival (16 November). If you are interested in our work, how we do it, and searching for ways to stimulate your own practice with new tools, this would be a good workshop for you. The workshop focuses on techniques of levels of address and presence and ways of cutting these up, influenced by Burroughs/Gysin=B9s experiences of cutting up text and images on the page and transferring this idea to live improvisation. As the Apocryphal lab includes artists, writers, musicians and dancers, this workshop is open to anyone from these disciplines as well as theatre, performance and live art. The workshop is suited to a broad range of experience from dedicated university students to seasoned professionals, the main requirement being an interest in experimentation and taking artistic risks outside of your comfort zone Julia has taught this workshop in London and internationally at such venues as Chisenhale Dance Space, CPT, Arcola, FringeNYC and multiple universities in the UK and US. The workshop will be small (no more than 12 people), so if interested send along your CV soon to julialeebarclay-AT-yahoo.com for consideration (or email her with any questions). The workshop will take place in the main theatre space in the afternoons on Saturday-Sunday 8-9 and 15-16 November with a fee of =A3100/=A350 (conc.). For more information about the workshops and the company, please see Apocryphal=B9s website at <>www.flyingoutofsequence.org. Some sample feedback from past workshops: =B3...the work began to deconstruct what it means to 'perform' and it brought a level of honesty and truth that I had never explored before=B2 =B3It made me look to a whole new level=8AI could take this and apply it to lots of other work that I do.=B2 =B3You opened up a whole new idea to me and it has endless benefits=B2 And finally.... We're official! In July we formally incorporated as a not for profit theatre company and we are now raising funds for our upcoming show at Camden People's Theatre in February 2009 Besides, you lose your soul or the History of Western Civilisation. Our new status will enable us to expand our fundraising efforts and create the stable base we want for our lab and our productions.=A0 All best wishes and hoping to see you soon, Lucy Avery Associate Director _______________________________________________ List address: deleuze-guattari-AT-driftline.org Info: http://lists.driftline.org/listinfo.cgi/deleuze-guattari-driftline.org Archives: www.driftline.org
