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.… Read on...

loop of feedback

If Destroyed Still True thanks for the feedback….it’s striking it’s misinterpreted emotion it’s brave it’s Inland Empire it’s the lifeforce passing between generations the red string it’s about the umbilical cord when the tape becomes saturated if you play it too many times it will break they’re the male and female the animals become human it’s improvised it’s too empty, it’s too much, it’s Adam & Eve gone wrong, it’s Oedipal, it’s lady and the tramp gone wrong Disney are going to issue a lawsuit it’s not funny, it’s the fight between generations it’s Sun, Sex & Suspicious Parents I need a few days it’s gone wrong it’s not very serious, it’s hilarious, it’s nothing, it’s chaos but not entropy it’s the cosmos  there was no table in it it’s not Superman but it is in 3D it’s tense it’s Freudian there’s no pine disinfectant on the floor it’s about a family it’s got everything a play should have it’s nightmares come to visit it’s about time moving forwards and backwards it’s about predators and prey it’s sickening and gratuitous it’s all about the sea it’s naked experimentation it’s got everything I wanted it’s what you make of it it’s beautiful it reminded me of working in an old people’s home you’ve got lovely bodies it’s the best kind of violence I could look at your beautiful bodies all day this play they need more pace, humour, characterisation and ideas, it’s like peanut butter, some like it smooth some like it uncertain there’s a lot of things, there’s not much to go on, it softly asks questions, it’s uncertain it’s ambiguous, he’s cupid, they’re the perfect couple, he’s evil, your eyes are scary, i got the giggles, I’ll need a few days to think about it…I’ve been thinking about the cosmos, I dreamt of rocks last night…the rock from your play, I’ll never forget the spitting, it’s abstract, it’s images that melt away, it’s an unashamed admission of incoherence and inconclusiveness, it’s breathtaking pathos, it’s disquieting and bamboozling…again thanks for your thoughts so far and thanks for your support if you have any more feel free to comment…

please let this be accurate – i don’t want to destroy the only alternative cinema in bristol

For flour to explode, it must form a highly dispersed dust. Approximately two ounces (56 grams) of flour suspended in a cubic yard (one cubic meter) of air will have explosive properties. If a flame is introduced to the flour dust, the individual flour particles will burn. If the dust cloud is large enough, a flash fire inside the dust cloud will result, which can create a serious explosion.

Flour explosions are a much larger risk in areas where large amounts of flour are handled. Although a small dust cloud of flour might ignite in a home kitchen, the damage would probably not be severe. In a grain elevator or flour mill, however, the potential for a very large cloud of flour or grain dust is much higher.… Read on...
