Shameless Promotions R’ Us Part 2

Do you ever spend your Saturdays lounging aimlessly, doing nothing with your day?

Do you ever wish you could be spending this time doing something productive, creative even? You know, maybe see a few bands, partake in the creation of spontaneous art?

Well if the answer to any of the above questions is yes, then read on ‘cos Trinity D.A.S., a bunch of other people and the boys at the Bernard Shaw have just the thing for you…

A Bunch of People Present “A Happening” at Toejam at The Bernard Shaw 5th April starting at 4pm. Free entry.

Wikipedia says “A happening is a performance, event or situation meant to be considered as art. Happenings take place anywhere, are often multi-disciplinary, often lack a narrative and frequently seek to involve the audience in some way. Key elements of happenings are planned, but artists sometimes retain room for improvisation.”

What we are doing is a 21st Century version of what these spontaneous Happenings of the 1960s and bringing back the spirit of collectively creating an event based on the content of those attending.

This means, to begin with everyone receives a postcard on entry which they can draw on, modify etc in any way they like and then add this to the wall together with everyone else’s to form a unique piece of work formed by all present.

Following on from that, there will instillations of computer paper art, and new music videos by a selection of talented young directors. Then there will be interactive music and visuals which everyone can have a go with.

Then throughout the day while you lounge on bean bags, surrounded by lava lamps there will be live visuals, Fluxus art instillations and Live Music from….

Lomelindi (Live)

P.Dog (Live)

Roberto Pugliese (Live and Interactive Music and Visuals)

Attencton Bebe (acoustic covers of 90s dance hits)

The Sam Kavanagh Ensemble (Gypsy music 3 piece)

Plus many more

Followed by the A$$QUAKE boys ’til late
