It’s a new season for Take Art in Somerset, which means we can heft back the big velvet curtain and reveal the still steaming (not like a cow pat) Take Art autumn programme.
Full of great rural touring shows, creative opportunities in theatre and dance, lots of stuff for schools and the latest news on all our exciting projects… and it’s got a cow on it! You probably best just have a look.
This Season in Rural Touring
We have ten shows touring Somerset from September to November 2014, kicking off with the hugely amusing Tom Wainwright and his comedy double bill Buttercup and Barry the Beaver. Tom juggles the hilarious and surreal in a show definitely best suited to older teenagers and adults.
In a more series vein Red Ladder will be performing their WWI theatre show ‘Wrong ‘Un in six Somerset venues, helping us honour the 100 year anniversary of the Great War. Also in theatre the much beloved Pip Utton returns with his new show Casanova, certain to ruffle a few doilies and upturn the odd cake tray.
In early November Kali Theatre will be inviting you to an interracial marriage between a girl from the country and a boy from the big city, in a thought provoking comedy in the style of an actual awkward wedding. Owch!
This season proffers a range of music, including a three-stop October tour from folk/pop Canadian artist Ian Sherwood, who hails from Nova Scotia. The part Maori, part Scottish, Pacific Curls are also visiting in October to offer their enthralling and heady world music sound to four Somerset venues. In November we welcome six-piece string band The Buffalo Girls, guaranteed to get the floorboards creaking with all that joyful dancing.
For kids and their adults Angel Heart Theatre return with their imagination exploding live puppet show Cirkus Spectakular for children four years and up. The season then draws to a dramatic, panoramic and windswept conclusion with TV wildlife filmmaker Ben Osborne and Himalayan Journeys, a personal account (with eye popping photos) of one of the greatest adventures on Earth.
What Else?
Take Art continues to reach thousands of people across Somerset with opportunities and workshops in dance, theatre, music and early years creativity.
