Scratch nights bringing working-class Midlands theatremakers out of your blind spot..
What is Blindspot Nights?
Blindspot Nights is a new scratch night in Coventry supporting working/under-class theatremakers in the Midlands with a paid opportunity to share their work. We strive to be a new and exciting opportunity for artists and audiences to be a part of how new theatre in the region takes shape.
Come along each month to see two brand new pieces of theatre being developed. Feedback your thoughts, chat to artists in the bar.
‘Duck’ by Kate Thomson
One ducks adventure into the wild. An absurd expedition of race. This multidisciplinary, one woman piece is a hilarious, abstract exploration of the mixed-race lived experience, told through the eyes of a duck. Using music, contemporary movement and verbatim text, prepare yourself as you accompany Duck on a whirlwind adventure.
‘The Puppeteer’ devised by Aaron Green, Mary Bonam, Tom Bonam, Martha Kent, and Alex Turner
‘The Puppeteer’ explores the comparison between puppetry and caring for elderly people. Larry, a care home worker by day and a budding puppeteer by night, learns the principles of puppetry and through this, discovers the similarities between puppetry and human life. Three actor puppeteers and a live musician on stage tell this intimate and bittersweet story.
