BSO Resonate Strings
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra
Music - Everyone
BSO Resonate Strings is a quintet of musicians from the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. Their varied ‘Spring Serenade’ programme focuses in the first half on ‘greats’ of the Baroque period - Handel, Bach, Pachelbel and Vivaldi, but then moves forward to the Classical period and Mozart’s sparkling serenade Eine kleine nachtmusik. After the interval comes English fare in the shape of music by Holst, Warlock and Elgar’s ever-popular Serenade, and to round off the evening, it’s over to the States for a couple of witty rags by Scott Joplin and Copland’s exhilarating Hoe Down from his ballet Rodeo.
‘everyone was smiling at the end of this magical performance, and all of us wanted more’. Audience reaction, Artsreach, Dorset

"His lexical acrobatics are astounding, often motor-mouthed and breathtakingly honest…Go for the wordsmithery, stay for the painful poignancy.” The List

Above Bored
‘Owdyado Theatre
Theatre Everyone 15+
A police interrogation room. A woman has been detained for questioning after her boss is found dead in suspicious circumstances. In a room down the hall, her colleague also awaits an interview. Just routine questions. Just routine. But what if the monotony of routine was responsible for pushing one of them over the edge? When does bored become bored to death (albeit someone else’s death)? After all, perhaps it’s not unusual for employees of an adhesive supply company to feel, well … stuck.
‘Owdyado Theatre is a Cornish-based new writing company that uses influences from influential modern dramatic works and contemporary film/television drama to create exciting original plays.

The Eradication of Schizophrenia in Western Lapland
Ridiculusmus
Theatre
Everyone 14+
This is a major new work by Ridiculusmus Theatre Company. It is an investigation of auditory hallucination through the lens of one family’s experience of psychoses. The audience is immersed in this recreation through an ambitious and innovative split staging arrangement: the action and dialogue from two different sequences of scenes are simultaneously performed to two different groups of audience in the same space.
Since its early days, Ridiculusmus has been touring its shows to audiences worldwide, taking them to sometimes unlikely venues. David and Jon, improvisers to the core, adapt the material to any environment, working with the context at hand.

Jamie Smith’s Mabon
Music
Everyone
An opportunity to see one of the U.K’s foremost Celtic roots bands. Jamie Smiths Mabon’s music is self-styled, singular and toe-tappingly good – an insatiable blend of world music, Celtic roots and rabble rousing funk folk, filled with energy joy and passion. One minute you’ll think you’re in a Breton bistro, next there are echoes of klezmer, a poignant Eastern European story tune, mazurkas, jigs and reels, hornpipes and fez nos. Completely adaptable in front of seated concert audiences or wired dance crowds, Arts Centres, village halls or massive outdoor festival stages, this is “a top band, led by one hell of an accordion player and arranger” Mike Harding BBC Radio 2.
