[SBABSKAB]11th-15th March, Wardrobe Theatre, St Michael’s Hill, Bristol  8PM

Sedated By A Brick have been creating the final parts to their adaptation of inspirational and seminal book,  the Shining.

Audience feedback from last showing: “that was fucking astounding”

We think that we may have written a new classic for the English-speaking world. An over-production of words most lovely in its malignancy.  Bernard Manning is dead. Kate Bush is a recluse and Elton John is wearing his glasses. Surely nothing could go wrong!  Round the church backwards three times I divorce thee, I divorce thee, I divorce thee. It’s the ever popular @serratedbyanaif…..come to spoil our self-congratulatory party. Come and see.

At least three versions of the play will be fighting it out for survival, stabbing each other in the back during the Ides of March [11-14th at the Wardrobe Theatre -£5 entry]  before, of course, as expected, we set fire to the show, try to delete or dispose of it but realise too late that it is built on an Indian burial ground and just won’t go away. Thank you.

Tonight, Sedated By A Brick will summon up the spirits of their alter-ego theatre company, Serrated By A Knife.

Is there anybody out there?

Unexpectedly, three icons of the seventies will answer their call and assume the mantle of Serrated By A Knife, presenting their dramatic rendition of seminal book/film classic, The Shining.

A fevered dream, a paranoid trip or an inter-generational seance? Whatever way you see it, they are a company possessed.

Sedated By A Brick are a Bristol-based performance company, producing high quality ‘quirk’ since 2009. They want to see what kind of experiences they can create when they put their minds and bodies together. They combine strong imagery and a mordant strain of humour to explore interrelations between often impossible characters and situations.

Sedated By A Brick got to ask Matthew Goulish 10 questions about his performance ’9 Beginnings’.

9 Beginnings is a performance from Every House Has a Door developed in response to an invitation from Performing Documents. Every House Has A Door will restage the beginnings of 9 historical performances by 9 different artists or companies found in the Arnolfini archive or University of Bristol’s Live Art Archives, and re-imagine them as a new composition.

Thankyou for all your Kate Bush Hooligan Chant requests…We’ve been approached by a football chant expert who is going to run a workshop with us next Wednesday. We’ll try out said songs there…get in touch if you want to join in….

meanwhile we’ve been speculating about what the most sinister English accent is….if you’ve got a really evil sounding voice come along….

SBAB are in Birmingham. SBAB are European. SBAB at the Birmingham European Festival. Woohoo! SBAB are on a an adventure! We’ll be showing our wares to the continental majority at 7pm on Friday with a truncated (but compact and bijou) thirty minute edition of If Destroyed Still True. In the meantime we are enjoying a plethora of workshops and meals laid on by the BE team.

Saturday 17th March at 17.30 at The Old Hairdressers. GLASGOW  (as part of the Buzzcut Festival!)

Hello world.

Well, we went to the Roundhouse, we showed some bits and we got some feedback. A sea of seemingly angry faces stared at us as we hit them with a flurry of text about possessions, The Shining and alter-ego theatre companies. Fortunately, the anger was only a misperception from inside the trappings of our performance and the feedback session afterwards was useful and constructive, with some engaging and deeply responsive feedback. It has definitely made us think further about the text in relation to the performance style we have chosen to adopt so far, and the general consensus was that even if it is confusing it is never unengaging because of that. In fact some people could have handled further confusion; you don’t have to tell us twice!

The other two performances were both very engaging and also markedly different from ours, which always makes for a good evening of work in progress. Sarah Bell took us on the beginning of a trip to the moon by watching the film For All Mankind for the first time in twenty years, exploring her childhood obsession with becoming an astronaut. tatty-del showed the beginnings of a piece about bitchiness and competetive relationships, deconstructing moments from their own lives in which they encountered power struggles and beginning to pick apart their own collaborative relationship.

Many thanks to the lovely GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN  for inviting us down to the Roundhouses for the evening.

Now on with the show!

We will be performing yet another incarnation of the beginnings of the new show as part of BLOP at Arnolfini on 25th February.

We may also be showing a bit of it at the Cabaret of Transformation at The Wardrobe Theatre on 17th February, but equally may show something else entirely.

And finally we are very pleased to announce that we will be performing as part of Buzzcut Festival in Glasgow in March.

Hoorah!
