Now celebrating its sixth anniversary, previous BLUE showcases have been sell-out successes and contained an eclectic mix of ideas and inventiveness. A variety of different live performance extracts have ranged from dance and comedy to physical theatre and poetry, raising the profile of many of the region’s most imaginative practitioners and catapulting some artists on to award-winning national tours.
Previous BLUE successes include Sonia Hughes, the writer of PEPPERED MOTH, who returned to The Studio in 2006 with her newly developed production of WEEDING CANE, which also had a successful UK tour. Performers Angel Club (north), who were part of 2006’s showcase, returned to The Studio later in the year during a national tour of their new show, OBSTACLES TO COMING HOME. And this Spring, performer Annie Fitzmaurice, who was part of BLUE 5, returns to The Studio for a 3-night full-production.
