Rough Mix

Rough Mix is Magnetic North’s inter-disciplinary creative development programme. It is an opportunity for theatre makers to collaborate with other practitioners, try out new ideas and introduce them to an audience. We bring together a small group of practitioners from different disciplines and give them time to start developing new projects in a supportive and collaborative atmosphere. The practitioners work together with a group of performers over a two week period before making a work in progress showing at the end. We believe that this project offers a unique opportunity for both established and emerging artists.

The current Rough Mix programme runs from January 11th-22nd 2010 at Dance Base in Edinburgh, supported by the Jerwood Charitable Foundation and Scottish Arts Council. The artists taking part are:

Ruth Barker – visual artist
Nicholas Bone – director
Catriona MacInnes – film-maker
Linda McLean – playwright
Ian Spink – choreographer/director
Who’ll be working with emerging theatre artist Harry Wilson and performers Catherine Gillard, Veronica Leer, Kirstin Murray, Michael Sherin and David Walshe.

There will be a public showing at 5:00pm on Friday 22nd January (Dance Base, 14-16 Grassmarket, Edinburgh) – entry is free, just turn up. All welcome!
