Beyond Face presents an evening showcasing fresh new early-stage work from exciting global majority artists based in Bristol and the surrounding areas.
We are Here to Share is Beyond Face’s regular scratch night programme. It’s a platform for global majority artists to share their work at different stages of development and an opportunity for audiences to experience new work and offer feedback.
Featuring the work of Beyond Face’s Associate Artists Lau Batty and Rozelle Gemma alongside other local artists, the evening will feature new writing exploring urgent themes and thought provoking subject matter.
Each piece will be at different stages of its development. Come along, support and celebrate the creativity and new work of diverse local artists.
Meet the artists:
Lau Batty – How To Grieve Correctly in A Tuvaluan Household with Other Oceanic References
How To Grieve Correctly in a Tuvaluan Household with Other Oceanic References explores unresolved grief that Lau and her community are facing due to the loss of land, family and way of life in Tuvalu. The play is a love letter to the Pasifika women in Lau’s life and also a call for solidarity between all occupied peoples.
Rozelle Gemma – No Woman is an Island
No Woman is an Island is an autobiographical play based on Roz’s time on the TV show The Island with Bear Grylls. Interweaving island life with other moments in Roz’s life, it touches on topics such as bullying, addiction and identity.
Additional artists to be announced.
