Cosmic Jam

15, October, 19, November, December

On Stage, Accidental, Music

from £6.00

Open mic at Accidental Theatre with a full backline of instruments & mics. For performers or audiences interested in diverse & experimental music & jamming. All performers get a video recording of their set!

Performers, buy one ‘Performer Ticket’ per act.

Everyone else, buy an ‘Audience Ticket’!

If you’re a solo act, just buy a single Performer Ticket and you’re set. If you’re an act with more than one person, buy one Performer Ticket and as many extra Audience Tickets as you need to cover all your performers (so a trio needs 1 Performer Ticket and 2 Audience Tickets, for example).

Most performers find they have 10-12mins of actual performance time as slots are normally 15mins long total, including set-up and take-down time. If there are a lot of sign-ups in a given month, slots may be shorter and we may have to forgo the jam!

Memoir Writing – Active Arts

Finding your voice, telling your story: Introduction to Memoir

This course will give you an opportunity to explore the range of possibilities in writing your life. Over four weeks, we will explore the different styles, formats and frames to help you find the perfect voice for your story. This is a generative workshop, so participants will have an opportunity to produce work in class, read excerpts from a range of memoirs, and share work and ideas with fellow writers. In addition to the writing they produce, all participants will leave with a basic plan for their Memoir. This is a class for everyone. No writing experience is necessary, and participants do not need to have an idea for a story.

Held in the Book Bar at Accidental Theatre from 2pm to 4pm - We’ll see you there!
