The recent campaign called Rainbows of Curve has called for
people around the world to share their Rainbows of Hope images with the theatre by emailing them to thewonderfulwizardofox@curvetheatre.co.uk.
These images will ultimately form part of the set design for Curve’s Christmas
production of The Wizard of Oz.
Many theatres have released screenings of past productions
and Curve was in the vanguard of this initiative and has screened both Memoirs
of an Asian Football Casual and The Importance of Being Earnest already. Just
these two productions have been viewed by over 17,000 people worldwide. Joe
Orton’s What The Butler Saw is scheduled to be screened this weekend (7pm April
19th). More titles will be announced in coming weeks.
Curve in Conversation is a series of interviews conducted by
Curve Artistic Director Nikolai Foster and posted online. These will be with a
whole host of creatives with links to Curve including writers, actors and
others.
There will also be Instagram Live Q&As to give audience
members the opportunity to ask leading figures in the industry questions every
Friday at 4pm.
Curve Young Company are being asked to send in videos of
their theatrical exploits at home during lockdown to communication@curvetheatre.co.uk
Curve is also launching a series of Bedtime Stories read by
actors like Cathy Tyson and Mark Peachey. There will also be activities packs
available inspired by previous Made At Curve family shows like the recent
Giraffe’s Can’t Dance.
Lots more information about upcoming events and how to
access activity packs is available at www.curveonline.co.uk
Mention should be made of the fact that Curve is a registered charity and relies on box
office takings and community support. In these straightened times they would
appreciate any donations that you care to make to help them through these tough
times. Details are on the website.
The Show Must Go onLINE, so support your local theatre in
any way you can.
