Adventure/Misadveture

Synopsis:
Nick's second full length solo show, Adventure/Misadventure explores why personal freedom and fulfilment seem - quite literally - to be over the next horizon. With true stories of intrepid travel versus tragi-comic attempts at nesting, Nick Field captures the struggle to negotiate expectations of success. Accompanied by a live musical score of puckish pop reworks performed largely with a harp, Adventure/Misadventure explores epic themes of freedom versus home in an exciting and unique form. Tales of crap jobs, geisha chasing and discoing monks are fused together to create a bittersweet journey between romanticism and reality and back again. With direction from established performance maker Rachel Mars, and in collaboration with Nick Trepka (co-producer of Speech Debelle & Roots Manuva) as musical director, Adventure/Misadventure is a theatrical mixtape that is heartbreakingly funny and evocative.

Cosmos And the Cosmetics, The

Synopsis:
Powerful, funny, poetic and true, it is an odyssey of tragicomic adolescent discovery through the subcultures of the UK. Nick grew up in a quiet Hampshire village. From the moment he discovered that orange squash could make fantastic lip tint, he knew he was going to have to search for a place to belong. Beginning his quest in his bathroom, and suffering hair dye experiments and a disintegrating family, Nick finds himself unearthing a myriad of potential scenes. Nick creates a vivid portrait of a young man coming of age as the 20th Century offers a swan song of underground music, culture and outfitting. He has been mono-chromed in Goth clubs, fluorescent in new age field parties and expelled from the pastels of Winchester royalty.

Midsummer

Synopsis:
Mauve New World offers a glimpse of a queer future as imagined by three artists: Emma Adams, Nick Field and Brian Mullin. In a Mauve New World, lesbian robot love may or may not be legal, the UK has deemed Queer to be 'sacred', and you can travel to a virtual Gay-topia to escape real-world oppression. A fantastical, slightly-queer, futuristic night out: all for just a fiver! Midsummer - Written & directed by Nick Field: A performance artist is presenting his newest piece. He explores memories of the vacations of his youth, before he was forced to leave his family to begin arduous religious training. Midsummer imagines a UK where the ancient, indigenous religions were uninterrupted and queer is sacred. A nation in which lifelong spiritual service is compulsory for queer people, and to rebel means exile. It Gets Better - By Brian Mullin: Gay teens are in danger: from bullies, oppressive governments, and their own private demons. But now there's a place where they can get away. Not somewhere over the rainbow - a state-of-the-art virtual world where everyone's all-gay, all the time. Who wouldn't be happy in a place like that?? Freakoid - By Emma Adams: Freakoid is the story of a woman coming to terms with the tricky discovery that her grandparents were a ZX-Spectrum and a Commodore 64. This discovery makes the love she feels for you illegal. So will love find a way?
