Aerial Sling
2020-06-11 18:30 - 20:00, 2020-06-04 18:30 - 20:00, 2020-05-21 18:30 - 20:00, 2020-05-14 18:30 - 20:00
Aerial sling is a new and increasingly popular aerial circus discipline that uses a giant loop of aerial silk. It draws from both trapeze and aerial silks vocabulary to create beautiful static poses or dynamic sequences. Sling is a great entry point for aerial circus as it’s one of the more comfortable pieces of apparatus to start learning how to make shapes in the air!
Over the course of each half term we will work on developing strength, core, technique and vocabulary and learning short sequences.
Beginners are welcome and no experience necessary. £12 per session booked in advance by the half term
Booking is essential, please contact helen@smallworld.org.uk 01239 615 952.

CANCELLED - Mourning in the Maze: A work-in-progress sharing
2020-05-23 20:00 - 21:00
Gitanjali Kolanad – Concept/ Choreographer
Performers – Brandy Leary and Hans Wolfgramm
in collaboration with Phillip Zarrilli/ Kaite O’Reilly (The Llanarth Group)
A performance inspired by stories and characters in the Mahabharata, exploring the affective terrain of mourning and pathos. The choreography is developed from the rich and evocative movement vocabulary of kalaripayattu—Kerala, India’s martial art. It is set within an immersive installation environment created to access and bring into performance the subtler modes of sensory awareness available within this tradition, thereby enhancing an audience’s experience of mourning and pathos.

CANCELLED - untitled: holy hiatus 13
2020-05-22 17:00 - 23:00
This six-hour, performative event explores how liminal space is created, experienced and shared, using repetitions of a phrase of movement and a 13th century song developed by Lou Laurens. Untitled 13 will use 12 years of layered recordings giving a unique soundscape. Come to observe, to be present within the space created. Use the space for mediation, prayer, contemplation. People who use movement as contemplation or prayer may wish to move rather than sit. We are tentatively continuing as we have done; Lou’s experiment with sound and space continues. There are distortions, curious new sounds and feedback, but being in the space and listening fully – to the space and to the self – the strangeness does not shock.

POSTPONED - The Carny Villains
2020-05-16 21:00 - 2020-05-17 00:30
The Carny Villains are a six-piece theatrical band from Bristol, known for their raucous blend of stomping ska, swing and balkan-style folk, all played with the riotous energy of punk-rock. Their enigmatic and animated live shows remain unrivalled for their mix of theatre, humour, energy and showmanship.
“When they perform live, they are a full-sensory theatrical experience. Their clowning around on stage and chemistry keeps the crowd laughing and dancing until they play their last notes and the whole audience has been whipped into a jumping frenzy”.
