Signal Fire (n): A fire or light set up in a prominent position as a warning, signal, or celebration.
In October and November, fires are lighting up across the UK with storytellers and audiences sharing in one of the original forms of theatre. The fires will signal the vibrancy of touring theatre, as well as the threat our industry continues to face.
A Signal Fire by Diverse City & Extraordinary Bodies
Join us, Diverse City and Extraordinary Bodies, our collaboration with Cirque Bijou, for an evening of connection and re-connection. Gathered around our digital fire, our community of artists will share stories, poems, songs and more. Come sit with us, light your own candle, maybe also share your own story on the live chat, and feel part of something warm on a crisp Autumn night.
YouTube live stream on Monday, November 2 at 8:00pm
(running time approximately 1 hour, join and leave as you please)
We have put together a line-up of artists who we have worked with in the past and who we also continue to be connected to now. People who make both Diverse City and Extraordinary Bodies: Ted Barnes, Kandaka Moore, Dave Young, John Kelly, Karen Spicer and Skinny, and our team members Claire Hodgson and Eilis Bevan-Davis. Jamie Beddard, our Co-Artistic Director, will be hosting.
