cube theatre have currently been working on a very interesting project.
Members of cube have been helping in rehearsals with our good friends Pipeline Theatre on their new project, Streaming - written and directed by Jon Welch. EXCITING!
Streaming by Jon Welch
This is a three-handed rites of passage piece, using the growing webcam industry as its setting. It also explores a cultural mismatch between a middle-class father and daughter, used to choice and privilege, and a woman whose choices are diminished by isolation, disenfranchisement and bad luck. It has humour, sadness and truth woven into its intriguing storyline. In terms of both design and recurring idiom, the descent of father and daughter is shot through a dark Wizard-of-Oz prism, using projection, macabre puppetry and a translucent set, where private/secret moments, memories, apparitions, can intrude into the on-stage action.
SHOWS ARE, November 6th to 8th at Tolmen, get yourselves down there! More information to come soon.

This is one of the projects i am helping cube with .
Streaming by Jon welch and the company pipeline Theatre , is looking to be a really hard hitting piece , Like stated above the show looks to test what we as a audience think about a certain industry and change it ? confirm it ? manipulate it?
The point like most theatre is to test us as audience members make us think , and that's what makes us like a piece or at-least go out of or way to see it . The show itself is touring in Cornwall and has bookings in Cornwall... Because of the collaboration between cube and pipeline i think their audience is pretty set while they are in Cornwall due to popularity with both companies.
However , this is when my PIC project and my own research comes into play, within this particular rehearsal process that I'm involved in want to document and get to know the regular audience what they like about the work of both companies and see how to effectively expand on this ? or on a another hand see if it doesn't actually need any help because of its loyal audience and standing in Cornwall's thriving theatre scene.
The rehearsals are all go go go! and i can honestly say this will be a show worth going to see!
So on behalf of cube GO AND SEE IT !!
