Blindfold Beyond
During week 1 of Beyond rehearsals, Karla Shacklock's first task was for all the performers to experience The Looking Glass (the venue for the performance) without being able to see it. Here's a photo gallery of their experiences:
Chek - Our first encounter with our performance space, The Looking Glass, was blindfolded. To be given so much time to touch, smell, hear and explore the space meant for me that my sight became three-dimensionally richer. The memory of seeing the space through the other senses added layers or texture I would not have discovered had I just explored the space with my eyes. We repeated the exploration without the blindfold and the experience of seeing that which I had felt and smelt was revelatory. For me, there was an appreciation of the space I would not have had otherwise.

Introducing... The Looking Glass
The Looking Glass was formally The Rummer Inn, which closed in 1999 and put up for sale. Sarah Middleton from Rolling Stage with support from Bristol City Council and Capacity has been granted the venue for approximately one year while the sale and planning of the building goes through. Sarah has been busy with the help of volunteers transforming the run down pub into a new and exciting arts venue THE LOOKING GLASS that will provide an affordable space where artists can present their work and to create a vibrant community hub where art, music, enterprise and innovation can thrive. Beyond is the first full production in this exciting new venue.
