The Mount Without
Stunning converted church venue on St Michael's Hill.
Is The Mount Without Bristol's most beautiful venue? A recently converted church that's been the site of worship for over 900 years, whoever's in charge has left a lot of the drag majesty of the old structure in tact. And so, with a keen eye for visual art and interior design, the Mount Without was born. Principally a wedding / private hire venue, it adds a touch of the sublime to all performances and gigs hosted there.

A kinetic exorcism of working-class identity and masculine performance, Oona Doherty’s 'Hope Hunt and the Ascension Into Lazarus' is a mutating pastiche of regional archetypes. Best known for 'Hard to Be Soft', an electrifying portrait of her hometown Belfast, the Northern Irish dancer-choreographer’s chameleonic blend of comedy, swagger and grace is unmissable.
By Oona Doherty. Hope Hunting lies between the lines of physical theatre, social proclamation and dance.

In ELEFANTIN, Cree Barnett-Williams invites Barbie onto the psychoanalytic couch of dance-theatre-satire. Splicing music videos with sketch-show absurdism, this piece peels back 66 years of gendered choreography and asks what happens when the dreamhouse decays.
