Siro-A is a humorous techno-video-lighting-dance-box show from Japan that makes you scratch your head and wonder: Just how did they think of that? It‘s fun, lots and lots of fun.

Situated off of the Southbank, La Soiree is the kind of wonderful escapism one can usually only imagine. If you follow the signs from the main riverfront, you will stumble upon the stunningly crafted Spiegeltent, full of beautiful people and alluring cabaret music. We were greeted and shown to our seats by fabulously dressed hosts and readied ourselves for the nights entertainment.
What do you think of when you picture your local park? Scenic routes? Picturesque landscapes with ever winding footpaths and well looked after flowerbeds? Or do you visualise construction works? A place abandoned by the local council with nothing more than a broken swing and a park bench? Living life in the city can be fast paced, chaotic and lively, but in amongst all of the chaos you’re guaranteed to wonder past a park, a place guaranteed to contain characters from all walks of life, each with their own story to tell.
The Spanish company Cridacompany brings us a multi-disciplinary performance where circus, dance and song work together to create an absurd and puzzling gathering of scenes.
This year marks the centenary of The Great War, and also the beginning of several years of remembrance. We can safely bet that the next few years will bring an avalanche of shows, events and speeches remembering the war that shaped the 20th century. The theatre will play its part and this show will surely be one of dozens trying to come to terms with the tragedy.
Stuart Slade’s debut play Cans premiers at Theatre 503, a cosy and lovely space where this play finds the intimacy it requires.
Theatrefullstop was created just over a year ago now with the hope of creating entertaining yet informative articles about the performance world. The blog has allowed for us reviewers to watch some fantastic theatre and to interview a lot of talented theatre makers and creators, and we all look forward to what 2015 brings!
You just know a show is going to be good when even the Box Office staff are excited about it, so I expected big things from the Royal Shakespeare Company‘s Henry VI and this much hyped tour does not disappoint! The plot is amazing of course, but it has a fantastic cast, a wonderful set and has been directed very well which really brings this Shakespearean classic to life.
Dad Dancing before you even step foot inside the theatre is a charming concept. Three contemporary dancers have made a dance show with their fathers…who are definitely not contemporary dancer . The show opens up the discussion of what it means to be a father and celebrates the diverse range of relationships fathers have with their children. This is made even more universal by the participants (fathers, daughters and sons) from the local community who are the supporting cast of this show.
In just over a week, The Vaults in Waterloo will play host to 12 days of puppetry, physical theatre and cabaret as the Mimetic festival celebrates its 3rd year in its new home. A festival adamant on showcasing the bold and exciting works of emerging and established theatrical talent, the Mimetic Festival promises to be an event not to be missed. Ahead of this year’s festival, I was able to speak to cabaret performer and actor Michael Twaits about his new show, The Libertine Has Left the Building which he’ll be performing from the 25h-29th November, his reaction to being this year’s Mimetic Audience Bursary winner and how the show has been 7 years in the making!
1) Congratulations on winning the Mimetic Audience Bursary 2014 for The Libertine Has Left the Building, how does it feel?
Thank you! It’s brilliant. It’s provides a lot of support for developing the show and making it something that I hope will be really exciting and different. The show would not become the show it will be without this support – and the support of the Arts Council.
