BLOP: Bristol Live Open Platform – Saturday 25th February 2012

I’m presenting a version of Voice Recognition: A Play at this day-long event at Arnolfini, Bristol. My slot is part of Theatre Programme 2 starting at 14.45hrs. Schedule and ticket details below.

Sat 25 Feb 11.00am – 8.00pm

Day pass £6 / £5 concs – many events FREE

BLOP is back for 2012!

Presenting new and emergent work by live and interdisciplinary artists, BLOP is all about experiments and unpredictability. It is an opportunity for artists to share new ideas with you, and for you to experience all kinds of live encounter: previous platforms have included live art, contemporary dance, socio-political activism and sound art, and this year will offer an equally imaginative mix.

We have 26 works which will be presented in and around the building – download the full schedule of events here or pick up a flyer from box office. Join us to discover what emerges and share your thoughts with the artists over a beer at the BLOP party in the Cafe Bar at the end of the day.

A Live Art Platform developed and presented in collaboration with Theatre Bristol and Inbetween Time productions

LIVE ART LIVE BLOG will be running a live blog throughout the day.  Follow at  liveartliveblog.net /@liveartliveblog / #liveartliveblog / #BLOP2012
