DIAMOND NIGHT
Explorations in performance
A series of bi-monthly arts evenings, hosted by Café Reason, to bring uncut performance gems to a wider audience. Conceived by Jeannie Donald-McKim, Diamond Nights is an informal platform for sharing new performance ideas, choreographies, experiments, and collaborations.
'Wow, that was brilliant', 'what a shame there weren't more people to see that' , 'that was as strong as any performance I've seen in quite a while'
So much great material gets created during class and rehearsal which never makes it into the final performance; we thought it was time it did. In order to offer these shining moments to a few more lucky people, Café Reason have decided to provide this platform for new ideas and explorations. It is an opportunity for us to share work with other interested artists and friends and to play, experiment, inspire and be inspired, feel uncomfortable, take risks and have fun.
Like most Café Reason productions, this event is organised collaboratively, with one or two group members at the helm. The platform is in itself a work in progress and we may try a variety of formats and contributions. Feedback welcome.
