It's All About the Full Stops

Synopsis:
Queer Up North has teamed up with Development Lab at Theatre in the Mill to lay down an artistic gauntlet. As we ask ourselves what `queer' might mean in 2010, we've commissioned three leading experimental theatre makers and challenged them to create short pieces that capture their own personal take on `queer'. All three are performed together for two nights only. Part of the Queer Up North commissioning programme funded by The Foyle Foundation. Co-commissioned by Queer Up North and Development Lab. Where You Stand - How is your sense of who you are shaped by where you find yourself? Where You Stand is a cross between a performance, a poem and a puzzle, exploring ideas around (dis)orientation - both sexual and spatial. Chris Goode is a writer and theatre-maker who created the much-loved storytelling show The Adventures of Wound Man and Shirley in last year's festival. Where You Stand is a companion piece to Who You Are, which Chris recently made for Tate Modern. High Speed Impact. Test Number One - This is just a story about some things that happened to me once. It was all true. At least I think it's true at the moment. There'll be some stuff about aeroplanes. Most of the stories involve aeroplanes at some point. We'll have to see where it goes. Chris Thorpe is a writer and performer from Manchester. As well as devising and performing Unlimited Theatre, Third Angel and others, he also writes plays and screenplays, and sometimes radio drama for the BBC. He is currently working on a new book of solo pieces called Eating Wasps. It's All About the Full Stops - Jogelen: to entertain by performing tricks. That's exactly what Rachael will be trying to do in this one-woman piece; trying to keep everything together, all the balls in the air and not end up with egg on her face. Rachael Walton is co-Artistic Director of Third Angel, a company making projects in theatre, live art, video, photography, visual art and on the internet. They regularly tour both here and abroad but are proud to be from Sheffield and have made work there for the last 15 years with many extraordinary people.

Paradise Project, The

Synopsis:
Imagine a place better than where you are. Every day they come in and try again. They try to figure out how to live together. They start to build something that will never be completed, at least not within their own life times. And everyday it works. Or it doesn't. Well, it depends how you measure it. So today, today they will try something different. The Paradise Project is full of wit, intelligence and humanity. Join Third Angel (Sheffield) and mala voadora (Lisbon) for a show about following instructions, inventing your own rules, and keeping trying.

Partus

Synopsis:
Birth. It's a massive life or death thing that happens every minute of every day in every country of the world. The expectations, the exhaustion, the euphoria. The shock, the sadness, the stupidly long shifts. The joy, the pain, the mess. Oh, and that first cup of tea that tasted better than anything, ever.

Presumption

Synopsis:
Presumption captures a young couple at the moment when they realise that their relationship has become comfortable rather than passionate, habitual rather than Dramatic. Against the backdrop of an insignificant quarrel, they examine their relationship and their willingness or not to accept its limitations. Third Angel's work is always visually interesting and here the mental exertions are mirrored by the performers' physical efforts as they struggle on and off the stage with an ever-increasing collection of domestic detritus. the piece is likely to resonate with young adult audiences.

What I Heard About the World

Synopsis:
A theatre piece with two songs: one original, one karaoke. In What I Heard About the World, Sheffield based Third Angel and Lisboa's Mala Voadora attempt to map a spherical planet onto a (very big) flat piece of paper. the three narrators set out to catalogue every country, to share stories and name names, in a show that wonders what future we are making for ourselves. Throughout 2010, Third Angel and Mala Voadora are collected stories from around the world.
