Description: Activate, the Theatre and Dance Development Agency for Dorset, Bournemouth and Poole invite you to join them for a day of performance that will showcase some of the best work from Dorset and the South West.
Taking place within the walls of the Lighthouse, Poole will be an eclectic mix of high quality performance.
Homegrown is the culmination event of an Activate project which included Growbags ‘Performance Scratch Nights’ across the county.
Performances to include the best work from Dorset & the South West:
Suitcase. Created & performed by Herbie Treehead.
Suitcase is a solo family indoor show, involving an invisible band and a monologue by the imfamous Norman the Depressed Dinosaur. It’s stand up comedy, songs, routines, lots of audience interaction. Also using projector and sound effects.
Horseplay. Performed by Niki McCretton. Directed by Amit Lahav.
Set within a horse’s stable, Horseplay is a magical, multi-sensory world containing live performer, Niki McCretton, beautiful props, miniature landscapes, lighting, sound and images to support children’s imaginative ideas.
The Wayside. Performed & choreographed by Laila Diallo.
The Wayside is a new solo performance inspired by the theme of departure. Showcasing Laila’s vivid dancing, it explores a physicality of loss and resilience. The sixteen minute piece features Lhasa de Sela’s song Pa’llegar hasta tu lado and reunites Laila’s favoured team of collaborators: Andy Downie, Theo Clinkard and Phil King who respectively contribute lighting, costume and sound designs.
Confession. Written by Nell Leyshon. Performed by Lee Hart.
In his search for peace and truth, a man makes a startling confession to the mother of his son. Confession is a work in progress, and is the germ of what will be a 70 minute two-hander.
On Cigarette Papers. Written and performed by poetPam Zinnemann-Hope.
The journey begins in 1990 with my mother’s death when I find an envelope containing fifty recipes, pencilled on cigarette papers, in Russian, in her handwriting. I know no Russian but the recipes, (for this is surely what they are), must have been written during her imprisonment, in Kiev. What feasts could they possibly contain that would be worth the risk of being found with a forbidden pencil?
Interval. Performed by the Carly Reader Dance Company.
Interval explores behaviours and interactions during an interval in the interval, using the surroundings of the foyer as inspiration.
