91福利

from on .

Holly Webley-Naylor, who studies Theatre and Performance Studies at the 91福利, has gone on to found Marbles & Ware, a London-based collective that creates “immersive, theatrical and affordable live events to bring the work of previously unseen contemporary artists to a wider audience. Our work is a direct response to the formality and stuffiness of an outdated system – an attempt to revitalise the art market and engage a new generation of artists and collectors. Bidders Bizarre – our quarterly auction – reflects the vibrancy and originality of the work on sale. It brings new art to new audiences in a larger-than-life auction house, where every purchase tells a story and nothing’s quite as it seems…Artists, performers and our growing community lie at the heart of everything we do.”

Their next event is the Southern Wilds Exhibition, Auction & Bazaar at The Vaults. More info here:

Matt Stokoe, who graduated from Theatre and Performance Studies in 2010, will take on the role of new head of the Red Guard in Series 3 of BBC's The Musketeers.

'The Gods of Pick 'n' Mix' is a new piece of theatre taking place in the basement of the old Woolworths on the Moor in Sheffield, from 14th - 18th July. Offering you the chance to head behind the scenes of the much-loved store, the piece explores the unique place Woolworths still holds in many people's hearts and the brutality of its sudden disappearance both for customers and staff. Navigating loss, aspiration and nostalgia, 'The Gods of Pick 'n' Mix' asks: what can we really know about a thing, or a person, once they're gone?

In making the show, Sad Siren Theatre gave pick 'n' mix to the people of Sheffield in exchange for their stories, memories and recollections of the old store.

'The Gods of Pick 'n' Mix' is supported by Arts Council England and Theatre Delicatessen.

Theatre and Performance Studies alumni Gwilym Lawrence and Soraya Jane Nabipour are Sad Siren Theatre :
