"Hush City" is a new event & social space concept running in the month of January on Wednesdays from 9am til 9pm in the panelled lounges of the iconic Arts Mansion in Ashton Court.
I invite you to move in for a whole day, focus & relax, work on your project, make connections that don’t require small talk.
During "Hush periods" (45 minutes every hour):
- we keep the quiet
- disconnect from the web (devices on airplane mode & headphones are allowed).
Please arrive during the break - quarter to the hour between 8:45am and 7:45pm. If you arrive earlier, there is a heated waiting room where you can stay until the next Hush period starts.
You will find that despite these restrictions, "Hush City" allows a greater sense of freedom to express your authentic self as you move through the day, whether you want to stretch, read, knit, zone-out, draw, compose, breath or even have a nap, than other social spaces such as coffee shops, pubs and libraries we are all familiar with.
⏳️ January 8th, 15th and 22nd, 9am til 9pm.
Cost: £5 for 2 hours, £10 for 5 hours, £16 for 12 hours.
Age: 16+.
I am a trained mime artist and Zen Buddhist practitioner. Drawing on my global experience from leading slow cycling bike rides in Bristol to extensive training in a Japanese monastery, I developed "Hush City" to create alternative, non-verbal ways of socialising. Neuro-divergent adults and people on the healing path may find the space particularly beneficial.
"What do you do when you do you?" - answers are only accepted in real-time acting out.
