Today at ArtSpace,
the Satellites have been busy developing and rehearsing their show for Come on
Down, which takes place on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd
December this year.
For those of you
who don’t know, Comet Tales is an adventure in space where new worlds collide. Here
is a little something to tickle your taste buds:
~ Stardate 5239 ~
“We voyage to the
galaxy named Farfaraway powered by the starlight in our dreams, exploring new
worlds on a mission to discover a beautiful space, past the seventh star,
beyond the universe we know - to the universe we've yet to explore, beyond even
the reach of the TARDIS, in our search for the place where you can be who you
are and get back to tell the tale.”
We asked Tim,
Captain of the ‘ship, how we could best describe Comet Tales. He said “it’s
about a group of people from different backgrounds who become good friends
despite their differences… it’s a bit like being at Headway Arts really!”
During their rehearsals
today, the Satellites have been working specifically on the production, re-writing and adding
some new scenes and characters since it was first performed at the Together
North East Festival in June. This means it is going to be bigger, better and
more sparkly than ever.
Intrigued..?
If the answer is
yes, then drop us an email or give us a ring to let us know you’d like to be
part of the audience at Come on Down. We have a whole host of performances, as
well as workshops days and even a winter ball.
If you’re inspired
by Comet Tales or simply have a performance you’d like to share, this year’s
theme is adventure. Performances must be original and no longer than 30
minutes.
If you can’t make
it to Come on Down to see Comet Tales, there will be more performances in the
area so keep your eyes peeled! It may just be touching down at a venue near
you.
Until next time, don’t
forget to add your own instalment to this year’s Come on Down blog. Send it to
us at admin@headwayarts.co.uk.
Over & Out.
