'Hatching' Stars in Bradford

On Thursday 22nd January, Kate and Kay performed their Star-themed marionette pieces at the Bradford Playhouse's second 'Hatch' night. 'Hatch' is the theatre's new experimental arts showcase night, with a programme packed with an eclectic variety of performance, film, installation, live art and participatory activity, including:

* A screening of 'Gift of Fire: Nineteen (obscure) frames that changed the world' by US filmmaker Ken Jacobs
* Short films by Lee Canning and Michelle Heighway
* Video installation by Angelo Picozzi and Karl Dallas
* Participatory paper banner project by Jennyanne Smith
* Audio visual performance by Brian Gilson
* Needle felting with textile artist Kate Ryan
* Performative lecture by Simon Warner
* Work in progress dance by Slanjayvah Danza
* Live art boxing by Nicolas Kilby
* Dance Theatre by Victoria Gray and Kip Johnson
* Poetry jazz performance by Nightdiver

There was an unexpectedly large crowd gathered around our marionette shows, and our little puppets were very well received. Here are some photos from the night:
