Spatial Architectonics

Loie Fuller

Loïe Fuller, physical poet, 1862-1928

“Space – my space – is not the context of which I constitute the ‘textuality’: instead it is first of all my body, and then it is in my body’s counterpart or ‘other’, it’s mirror image or shadow: it is the shifting intersection between that which touches, penetrates, threatens or benefits my body on the one hand, and all other bodies on the other. Thus we are concerned, once again, with gaps and tensions, contacts and separations, Yet, through and beyond these various effects of meaning, space is actually experienced, in its depths, as duplications, echoes and reverberations, redundancies and doublings up…”

Belgrade Unplugged

The Belgrade Theatre are stripping back their performances as Belgrade Unplugged returns this year. Hosted at various establishments across the city and beyond it’s a rare insight into the mechanics of rehearsal without all of the production values that the Belgrade brings to its shows.

Starting on Saturday 19th July at The Belgrade Theatre, Unplugged will be travelling to The Establishment in Coventry, Nicholas Chambers Almshouses, Bedworth, Upton House (part of the National Trust) in Warwickshire, The Map Room, Touchwood Shopping Centre in Solihull, Primrose Hill Park, Hillfields, Rubgy Art Gallery & Museum and the Lunt Roman Fort, Baginton. The locations offering both historic, contemporary and communal backdrops to the rehearsals and the actors whose only prop is of course the script. Performances are free (except for entry into Upton House) but advance booking is essential. Click here for more information.
