A January Re-Tox
Friday 19th January 2007
6 – 8.30pm
Jerwood Space, London
Please join us for drinks and nibbles and help us
to welcome the 2007 companies into The Darkroom. A chance for some
of us to catch up and for others to get to know each other and find
out a bit about the project. We’d also like to take the opportunity
to have a chat about how The Darkroom might develop in the future
and to celebrate the official launch of China Plate Limited.
Please RSVP by January 12th to paul@chinaplatetheatre.com
and do let us know if there is anyone else that you would like to
bring along. There is also some money available to cover travel
expenses for those of you not based in London.
We look forward to seeing you there.

2007
We are delighted to be able to announce that the theatre
companies that will be entering the Darkroom in 2007 are:
Blind Summit, The Other Way Works... and New Theatre
Encounters.
Blind Summit
Blind Summit is a cutting edge theatre company formed by puppet
designer/ maker Nick Barnes and actor/ director Mark Down to make
exciting puppet based theatre for adult audiences. Their own productions
include: Tramping the Boards (2001), Mr China’s Son (2002),
The Spaceman (2003), Pirate Puppetry (2003), Martin’s Wedding
(2004), Low Life (2005). http://www.blindsummit.com
The Other Way Works...
Create remarkable performances, dare their audiences to take part
as individuals, play with explosive imagery, sound and ritual, are
driven by a need to question and react and search for new ways to
explore this place and this time. The Other Way Works were formed
and have been based in Birmingham since 2001. They devise new performance
experiences that often happen in unusual places such as a two-person
dome tent or an empty shop unit in classy shopping centre. http://www.theotherwayworks.co.uk
New Theatre Encounters
We bring artists from European countries with different training
and backgrounds to work together and play all shows in the many
languages that make up the mother tongues of our collaborators.
It is our intention that our work can be understood by anyone regardless
of language. An important element in the making of our work is play
with language - confusion, misunderstanding and the struggle to
be heard. The Company draws on the traditions and training of its
members – clown, physical comedy, animation, music, singing
and storytelling. http://www.nie.cz
