2017 marks 5 years since the concept of the Vaults Festival was brought to life. Fastly becoming 1 of the go to festivals to experience in the UK, The Vaults is a meeting of minds, a celebration of new ideas, vision, discussion, creativity and boundary pushing.
Setting itself apart as 1 of the UKs most distinctive festivals, Bestival returns this September from the 8th until the 11th to bring its revellers an eclectic world of music, theatre, food, experiences and it’s very own Spaceport!
At 10:30pm on Saturday 6th August, all of the elements that make Wilderness one of the go to events to go to this summer will culminate to create an extravaganza like no other. A Wilderness festival staple, The Saturday Night Spectacle is unlike any other event that you have witnessed before!
La Fura Dels Baus @ Wilderness 2015 Saturday Night Spectacle
The ethos of Wilderness is to switch off from the busyness of the outside world and to immerse yourself into a tranquil world of creativity, culture and new ideas. The best part of it is… you are surrounded by the beautiful picturesque views of Cornbury Park, Oxfordshire having left all your cares and worries at home!
Theatrefullstop will be introducing the Theatre & Technology Awards next October. Technology, without a second thought is apart of our lives, and it plays a very important role. This couldn’t be more evident in the world of theatre, and the belief is that this should be highlighted.
The Theatre and Technology Awards will acknowledge the very best in a range of fields, with a total of 12 categories, which are:
Best Blog
Best Website
Best Sound Design
Best Lighting Design
Best PR company
Best PodcastBest Trailer
Best online streaming/cinema platform Best Trailer
Best Photographer
Best Poster Design
Best Playtext publisher
Best Projections
A website is currently in the process of being created, alongside a logo to represent the awards which will be launched in July 2016 to celebrate Theatrefullstop’s third birthday. The website will give readers an opportunity to find out more about the awards and how they can get involved. Theatrefullstop are glad to announce 2 sponsors; Billetto UK, the go to online ticketing website for the latest trendy events and Projected Image, a gobo manufacturer devoted to creating the very best designs. Tiata Fahodzi‘s Artistic Director Natalie Ibu, About Time Magazine‘s Editor-In-Chief Angelica Malin, Tamassy Creative‘s Creative Director Taiyo Nagano, UK Blog Awards‘ Managing Director Gemma Newton and Triforce Promotions‘ Company Director Minnie Crowe have also been confirmed as judges.
This is a very exciting venture for Theatrefullstop, and the aim is to spread the word and ultimately celebrate those individuals and companies that are enhancing the theatrical experience both on and off the stage by using technology.
This time last year, we had found out that we had made it to the 2nd round of votes at last year’s UK Blog Awards, and we were quite frankly grateful to just be apart of an award ceremony acknowledging blogging talent. For those that are aware, we were lucky enough to not only be nominated, but to win the Young Person’s Recognition Award which was a fantastic confidence boost! We’d like to say a big thank you to the awards for a lovely evening, both Christopher Walkey (CEO and founder of Marketme.com) and Michael Ruffles (Digital and Social Media Manager at Virgin StartUp) who were responsible for judging the Young Person’s Recognition award finalists and of course yourselves for your ongoing support!
It’s that time of year again. Time for family gatherings, office parties and too many mince pies! And what better way to celebrate than coming along The Christmas Wishlist at The Yard theatre?
Destination Eclectic @ The Yard
On 23rd July Theatrefullstop will be curating a night of theatre at The Yard from 8pm-10pm in the bar. Destination Eclectic has performers from an amazing array of disciplines – from Balinese Mask to Spoken Word! What better way to spend the evening than to travel the world, via Hackney, with performances ranging from the UK, Bali and Portugal! Doors open at 6pm and close at 12pm. So, come to The Yard and enjoy a fantastic evening of entertainment from some wonderful performers. There will be an entry fee of £3 and there will also be a raffle on the night (£1 for 5 tickets). Hope to see you there!
