Starting on Friday 15 July, Newcastle’s Alphabetti Theatre is to host PUG, a quarterly theatre club night with a difference.
Organised by Rosa Postlethwaite and Hannah Walker, two artists who devise work that straddles theatre and live art, PUG is a “night of addictive performances for withered attention spans.”
The first event includes:
-
re(a/t)ch
by Charlie Dearnleyre(a/t)ch explores ritual ceremonies of offering and acceptance as Charlie Dearnley tries to find and reflect on spiritual experiences by imbuing actions, tasks and events with otherworldly importance. Through reflecting on a christian upbringing he attempts to make some sense of his own constantly shifting belief system, and then express that through a combination of spoken word and dance.

You Over There
by Luca RutherfordPunk stuff. Fun stuff. Silliness.
Something will happen. No one will get richer and no-one will get poorer.
You Over There looks at what happens when we make stuff and do stuff in a way we are not supposed to. I want to invite you to be a punk with me. Shout loudly, dance stupidly, stay still and whisper if you want to, but stand in the garage with me and give a bit of you for a piece of me.
