'Myrrha' in Birmingham

Marie-Louise Crawley and Malcolm Atkins performed Myrrha to a sold-out and very appreciative crowd at mac Birmingham last Friday 23rd October, as part of Birmingham Dance Network's 'Introducing...' evening, presenting new dance and performance work. We were part of fabulous line-up of artists including Yukiko Masui, Joss Carter, Rachel Liggett, Outspoken Dance Theatre, Kopal Vedam and Sara MacQueen & Christopher Radford. Many thanks to Birmingham Dance Network and mac Birmingham for having us - it was a pleasure to bring the work to Marie-Louise's home city!

Avid for Ovid at Ashmolean for DEAD FRIDAY 30th October 2015

This Friday 30th October Avid for Ovid will be taking part in Dead Friday at Oxford's Ashmolean Museum as part of a special Hallowe'en programme with live comedy, performance, music, workshops and gallery talks.  Put your Hallowe'en glad rags on to explore ghosts and ghouls through history; you can enjoy a drink in the crypt cafe or on the rooftop, have a go at death drawing with Art Macabre; listen to Hallowe'en funk with Porto Flip, meet the dead funny Oxford Imps, and discover more about deathly objects in the collections from curators and researchers from Oxford University.  Avid for Ovid will be in the Cast Gallery embodying some suitably ghoulish characters from Ovid's Metamorphoses - furies, sorceresses, werewolves, ghosts and mourners - as well as casting ancient Roman curses...

Fancy dress is optional, with a prize for the best costume...

Date:  Friday 30th October 7.00-10.30pm

Venue:  Ashmolean Museum, Beaumont Street, Oxford OX1 2PH
