A event held at The Cube on Saturday 1st November. The event starts at 15:00.
Join us on November 1st, while the veil is still thin, as we are taking over the Cube for an afternoon and evening of performances, films, workshops and discussion.
We are Interval — a Bristol-based collective of performance artists who share space, knowledge and resources above St Nicholas Market in the centre of Bristol. We are often away performing across the UK and internationally, so this is our chance to come together here at home and share what we’ve been up to. The night will be a mix of works-in-progress, fully-fledged creations, works created specifically for the occasion and, of course, a party!
Expect: experimental noise, subjective map-making, a quick opera, rageful storytelling and more.
Interval is: Linzy Na Nakorn, Ben Kulvichit, Hannah Sullivan, Ed Rapley, Jo Hellier, Alice Human, Sabina Boginka, Rachael Clerke, Clara Potter-Sweet, Jo Bannon, Anastasia Dahl, Viki Browne, Danny Prosser, Christopher Fairall, Karla Shacklock, Kit Hall, Gemma Paintin, Jan-Ming Lee, Howl Yuan, Rhiannon Colvin, Ania Varez
You can find more information about Interval at our website: https://intervalbristol.weebly.com/
Tickets are a sliding scale from £5 to £15 for the whole day — see as much as you like.

Sabina Boginka: Look, at Bethlehem Now

Alice Human
“During 2020, I went to support the STOP HS2 campaign, and not many people knew what was going on. This show hopes to raise awareness of one of the most devastating and horrific woodland decimations of our modern time and shares the current role of protest in the UK and the importance of Native woodland here in this country.” Using their/her voice, music, punk sounds, experimental noise, megaphones, and harmoniums, she will carve stories and events from this powerful time.
Alice Human is a Dramatherapist, Activist, Theatre maker, Performer and musician. She is passionate about the connection between direct action and performance, and believes theatre has the power for social change.

Jo Hellier: Birth the Musical
A quick opera about mothering, othering, birth, blood and lurve.
“I applied for a DYCP primarily to cover my maternity leave, but also to expand my vocal practice and have a crack at composing for voice in theatre and dance. The two are here and forever more combined in 'Birth the Musical'. Tonight I am sharing some really early compositional ideas from the year.“
Jo Hellier is an artist, choreographer and vocalist creating experimental performance across live art, dance and music. Drawing on improvisation, somatic movement practices and extended vocal techniques, she amplifies awareness in body and imagination to make multi-art-form pieces that are discordant, abstract and fun.
