Messages left very kindly in our comments book:

“Fool’s Theatre is a must see of talented young actors who manage to straddle the tricky balance of mesmerizing, funny, tricksy, haunting and laugh out loud…in their debut each vignette has its own authors’ thumbprint whilst also delivering a grippingly coherent and integrated drama – you’ll regret it if you miss it.”

“Saw Go Solo at Henley Fringe tonight.
Very impressed by innovative, professional entertainment. Great timing, great movement, great tempo.
Will recommend you to whoever I meet.
Best of luck for rest of shows and your futures.”

“I adored the knight, great energy, everyone just needs to relax a little!” (I agree with you there! We need to take the time to breath and enjoy your company! Perhaps we were a little over excited on our debut…)

“Wonderful energy, character, originality, diversity, creativity – looking forward to more of your work!”

“Great to see some great physical theatre! very polished.”

” I loved the performance, especially the dictionary one it reminded me of the type of drama that we do in our drama group. its called: Acorn Music Theatre Company
we’d love it if you could come and see us one day. Please look us up. ”

“Fabulous effort, good physical comedy.”

“Good mix of physical drama and quirky ideas.”

“Really enjoyed it, all were fantastic, would have seen it again if i’d not come on the final night.”

“Loved it! Kept me guessing! wish my 13 year old son had been with me too. Good luck.”

Thank you too all who came and especially those who took the time to write something. Hope to see you with another show soon!

S-t-r-e-t-c-h yourself artistically and literally!  Following the success of PHYSICAL our bi-monthly Scratch Night of Innovative Physical Theatre at The Space, Isle of Dogs, Theatre of Inspirations is delighted to invite artists to apply for S-T-R-E-T-C-H, a micro-festival of all forms of physical theatre.  This event will take place on the evening of Thursday 7th July 2011 at The Bernie Grant Arts Centre, Seven Sisters.

Aimed at more developed pieces of up to 30 minutes we are searching for four acts of a physical genre (mime, physical comedy, dance, dance theatre, circus etc etc) for an opportunity to perform and receive audience feedback in this 270+-seater theatre, with state-of-the art facilities and technical support. This is a fantastic opportunity for pre-Edinburgh showcasing or for groups seeking informed feedback for longer pieces in progress.

Tickets available now for Go Solo at the very lovely Henley Fringe. Follow the link below to buy your tickets. Book now to avoid disappointment! The performance dates are 21st, 22nd and 23rd of July and priced at a very reasonable £6. And spend the day in the very beautiful Henley countryside! See you there!

To understand the mind of a child is to be a child also, this is not a story or a fragment of history to be repeated. This is an impression or interpretation of a world through the windows of a child’s eyes.

Through physical gesture we explore this territory, language plays with our senses to uncover the hidden pathways we have yet to explore. We may lose touch with our inner child so the spark of imagination is cut off.

How do children imagine with a world at war? Where do we begin when they could not see an end?

‘The light from a child’s eye can hide a dark sky.’
