This week it was the turn of the Battersea Arts Centre, somewhere I have wanted to check out ever since I moved to Wandsworth last year, but simply haven’t found the time, you know how it is! BAC is a very quirky place indeed, housed in an old town hall, it has a very artsy and bohemian charm about it. The cafe is a great space, with very affordable tea and coffee, and just as we were packing up from our session to wander around, a band were setting up, and make a note that this is great venue for an intimate gig.
Over our coffee today we discussed what needs to be done regarding our exciting appearance at Rhinegold’s Music Education Expo in March (www.musiceducationexpo.co.uk), more about that to follow. We also diarised future rehearsal dates for both our Saatchi performance and our upcoming Platform 33/Non-Classical collaboration with Emma Miller. Our first rehearsal with Emma is on Saturday, and prior to this we have given ourselves the task to each bring along one stimulus to brainstorm, leading us to a starting point for the work. For our Saatchi performance on the other hand, our commission will take inspiration from art work in the current exhibition.
Although there isn’t a gallery as such at Battersea Arts Centre, the whole place is a bit like an installation, from the carpeted chairs to the neon sign encouraging the viewer to ‘Start A Revolution’. It has an air of the unfinished about it, and this adds to the character. With their mission to ‘reinvent theatre’ it’s a theatrical hub, and we will definitely be returning to check out some of the events.
Have a good week! MOC x
