Hatch and Broadway Media Arts Present...

Pat Ashe - An Oasis in 5 Parts 

So you didn’t make it to Edinburgh for the festival and its notoriously attractive fringe in August?  Or maybe you did, and are now getting withdrawal symptoms and need a pick me up?  Either way, dry your eyes because Nottingham ain’t half bad at entertaining en masse and are actually known for slinging quite a few performers North for the festival. 

Nottingham’s own all singing, all dancing performance art aficionados, Hatch, are teaming up with Broadway Media Arts in September.  Originally born from the minds of the creative team of Nathan Miller and Michael Pinchbeck in 2008; it is a theatre of the people, for the people, without a building.  They’ve previously infested areas of the city with a vast range of performance-y mediums including Broad Street with Hatch: Abroad, St James’ Street with Hatch: Across, Canning Circus with Hatch: One, Carrington with Hatch: Wish You Were Here and last year they even took it to Nottingham-on-Sea, Skegness.

Like You Were Before I

This September, they’ll be bringing to the lovely people of Nottingham - and beyond - a short season of performance-y works that will play with the cinema as a space to unravel stories, embody someone else, and promise to – for a short while, at least – transport you to another place.

Pat Ashe will be developing a new performance work in and for a cinema auditorium as part of his ongoing project, An Oasis in Five Parts. An Oasis is a series of works based around place, memory and the concept of oasis; a tender look at places that for a short while contain us, the stop gap between one chapter of life and the next.

Hatch and Broadway will also be presenting two live events inside the cinema screen.  These will be a work in progress from Pat Ashe’s residency, and a double-bill featuring co-director of the notorious Forest Fringe, Deborah Pearson’s award winning Like You Were Before I.
