Final Woodlands Artist in Residence performances

I have just three final events left this week for my residency at Woodlands. If you haven’t gotten a chance to see me performing or participate so far, this is when you can do it.

  1. A Game for Woodlands – Sunday 5 June

    This Sunday is the “big lunch” picnic starting at 1:00 in Woodlands Community Garden (91-111 W Prince’s Street) and I’ll be providing some entertainment with a little game. It’s structured around exploring the neighbourhood and in particular entering into the lanes and forgotten spaces. These spaces will sort of be gates to the mythic underworld in a classical questing narrative, but I’ve tried to leave lots up to the players. You’ll be collecting treasures from these places, and it can be as competitive or casual as you like it. With water balloons. I’m finishing my preparations and finalising a couple of details today.

    Expect the game to be starting between one and two o’clock. If there’s enough interest, we can hang around and play something else afterwards too, like Manhunt or just board game at the picnic.

  2. In Performance – Tuesday 7 June

    Over the month I’ve been playing my violin in random spots in the neighbourhood and inviting the public to come find me, or to stumble across me. But for my last appearance I’d love a bit of an audience. On Tuesday evening I’ll be giving a proper little recital from 7–9 pm in the empty lot on the corner of Great Western Road and Montague Street, to be followed by a drink at the Doublet. Please come along for some of the performance!

  3. Manhunt vs Woodlands IV – Wednesday 8 June

    And I’ll be running one last game of Manhunt before I’m done, this Wednesday at 9:30 pm. We’ll meet at the Garden, as we did with the first one back in early May.

    After my residency is done I’ll be taking a few weeks on holiday, but Manhunt will continue elsewhere in the city after I return–if you are looking to play some hide and seek later this summer, sign up for the mailing list at http://manhunt-glasgow.tumblr.com
