There’s a big project (18 months, 17 artists, 138 performers – that kind of thing) that’s coming to a head this weekend, specifically between 6.30-9.30pm on Saturday 7 August at Retort House, 9 Gas Street:
The River project is a collaborative animated film based on a bespoke piece of contemporary dance
The event will be an exhibition featuring live music, dance and film. It’s a one-off, so don’t go thinking you’ll get a second chance to see this.
There’s a proper website that looks all brooding and impressive, but I’ve enjoyed browsing through the blog that talks about the impressive city centre venue (the first time it’s been used as an arts venue), the musicians and the many rehearsals.
Sounds brilliant! will be there for sure!
Any idea if this is a free or a paid-for event? Can’t seem to find the info on the site.
It’s free, site is bereft of information. I’ve popped the press release online which has a bit more: http://www.birminghamitsnotshit.co.uk/2010/08/this-saturday-the-river-project-birmingham-2.html
Thanks Jon.
