Where have we been all your life?

In the next  couple of weeks, you will have plenty of time to catch up with your three favourite ladies! We are coming out of the rehearsal room to give you some laughs and make your heart bleed.

On the 9 May we are hosting our final fundraiser. This is the last one of the year and hopefully of the project, as we hope that some charities and organisations will see the need for such work to be made AND SEEN and will assist in taking the project forward.

 

Whatever the outcome of the night we would like, AGAIN AND AGAIN, to thank everyone who has donated to the project so far, and who has consistently supported us through all our endeavours. You got us to the fringe last year, and warms our insides to bursting point when we see your familiar faces at our events!

So we shall update you on this fabulous, French inspired night of frivolity!

On arrival you will be greeted with European kisses (some of you lucky buggers might get a

kiss of the French variety...depends how much champagne we have!)

We are giving goody bags to all our guest on arrival, with little trinkets to show you our gratitude for your time and support: presents for your presence.

We have a line up of local talent all in-keeping with our French theme, and games galore including a Bicycle Wheel of Fortune, cheese tasting (blindfolded), wine taking (also blindfolded), a quiz, a film still competition and BEST COSTUME. We also have a "French Poetry" competition, suitable for beginners/ people with no language skills whatever 'can barely speak English as it is' sort of thing. In fact being able to speak French won't help you in this game!

We have some fabulous prizes for you, donated by lovely independent businesses, and Six Lips Theatre will be performing some rather risqué material, as well as some snippets of the project all this activity has been in aid of. Come on down and join us: no one throws a bash quite like us!

 

 

 

On Friday 16 May we open our rehearsal room doors to the public, as part of the CREATE 14 Festival and the York Love Arts festival, to come and see our work in progress and give us some feedback. This event is free but there are only 30 places so if you want to come on down, best reserve your seats in advance here.

We hope to see you at one or t'other or just knocking about, we've missed you all!

Lots of Love, Over and Out and all that Jazz,

The Lips xx
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Open Arms and Empty Pockets

'So what's new' we hear you ask!

Fair point...as ever Six Lips Theatre has open arms to any creatives wishing to get involved, and as ever we are digging deep to fund projects.

But we've missed you, and wanted to catch you up on what we're up to, and how you can get involved!

Over the last fortnight we had the pleasure of working with Natalie Ailsa Bowers. She is new to York having studied at Rose Bruford College and then working abroad, and a very exciting theatre maker and performer with a fantastic get stuck in attitude. We were impressed with her physical theatre technique and studio manner! We think she's one to watch, so keep your eyes peeled, and snap her up!

We extend the invitation to any creatives to get in touch with us about collaborating, it's what we are about! Just drop us a line at info@sixlips.co.uk


Dates for your diaries:


We are sharing the outcome of our R and D at York Saint John University as part of the Love Arts and CREATE festivals on the 16th May, in Theatre 4 at 7pm.
This is free and will be followed with a feedback session. It's free so please do pop along and tell us what you think! Places are limited so you will need to book a place in advance.

We can also confirm dates for the debut of the final project at Upstage Centre on June 5  and 6 at 8pm. This will be a ticketed event, £6 and £8 to cover the hire of the building. We are also throwing in a Q and A, and on the Friday you can sign up to a Devising Techniques pre show workshop for an extra £4. 


Don't forget our final fringe fundraiser on the May 9 at City Screen Basement Bar! We are going for a french theme in honor of the Tour de France... Film-Noir! There will be canapes, champagne and shenanigans aplenty! Tickets go on sale next week!

LASTLY... we are still crowd fundraising with Zequs. You can donate, or pass on information about our project to your wealthy relatives/friends/enemies! Everything you need can be found here. If we meet this target we get entered into an award, which offers an extra £500 to the lucky winner! We have 16 days people! Let's do this!

Love the Lips
