Residence

Incidents

I am looking for Incident Books or excerpts from Incident Books from pubs and bars across the UK.

I want to read them out as a performance: a litany of drunkenness and violence.

All names & locations will be changed to protect those involved. All submissions will be treated in confidence.

If you have access to an Incident Book but cannot send it to me you can email photos of interesting pages, just get in touch here.

You can also post Incident Books directly to Residence:

11 St Nicholas Street,
Bristol
BS1 1UE

Thank you in advance for your contribution.

Residence Look Club

Look Club is to shows as Book Club is to books: You all watch the same show and at some point meet up and discuss it.

Any Residence member can suggest a show to see and a time to discuss it, they are then responsible for telling people about it, turning up, and providing tea & biscuits.

If you want to attend the only thing you need to do is to see the show in question.

*The next Look Club is at 7pm Friday 11th June at The Milk Bar, 11 St Nicholas Street, Bristol. We will be discussing Far Away which is running at the Bristol Old Vic for 3 more nights.*

Residence will be holding an Open Office at 11 St Nicholas Street at 10am-1pm this Friday 4th December.

This is a space to meet, work and chat.

Come along and bring some cake.

Because of the license we have on the building we cannot run public events. So you will have to ring the door bell. At which point I will invite you in.

The Milk Bar

Amazing news! Residence has a new home, thanks to the wonderful people in the Arts and Property departments of Bristol City Council we are now the proud residents of The Milk Bar, 11 St Nicholas Street, Bristol, BS1 1UE.

We have the space for six months and will be making the most of it right from the get go. We are sharing the building with Simon Games who if you don't know are the folks behind the amazing igfest(.org) a festival of pervasive games.

Rapley Reviews: Prototype- Experiments in Theatre

Again the good people of the Tobacco Factory Theatre have given us a stormingly successful Prototype. In case you don't know this is a night of work in progress with feedback at the end and you can read what I've said about all the others here.

All the News.

On Saturday I tried to read all the news in all the newspapers that could be purchased from the newsagents near the Arnolfini. It was part of the We Live Here weekender. I then spent around thirteen and a half hours in the basement sitting in a comfy chair and reading. The results- I was hallucinating mildly after finishing, and had read all I ever want to read on the subject of Snow, had come to the conclusion that the only paper offering any actual news is The Financial Times, the rest are at best simply voyeurism, propaganda, pornography, stupidity, horror, filth and degradation.

RESIDENCE
DISCUSSION EVENT
ON MONDAY 28TH APRIL 8PM
about the work we saw at
I AM STILL YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE

Residence's discussion event is back for one night only before we bid farewell to our beloved police station and move to pastures new. Come along and meet like-minded artists, chat about the work you saw, drink booze.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU? WHAT WORKED? WHAT DIDN'T WORK? WHAT MADE YOU LAUGH? WHAT WAS THE POINT? DOES ANYONE CARE? WHO WAS IT FOR? DID YOU SEE THAT? DID YOU MISS THAT? WHAT CHANGED YOUR LIFE FOREVER? WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO TEARS? WHAT BORED YOU TO TEARS?

Residence has a website!

As you may know I'm a member of a wonderful organisation called Residence. It's a collection of theatre companies who run and share office and rehearsal space with each other.

We are currently based at the Old Horfield Police Station under the wings of the lovely ArtspaceLifespace.com.

Not only do we exist in real life but we have have a presence on the web which goes beyond the mere myspace page which was our previous home. Now we can be reached at...
