My Father and Other Superheroes Nimble Fish Written by and starring Nick Makoha Directed by Benji Reid The day that Nick Makoha learned he was going to become a father, he also realised he had no idea how to be one...

Having spent most of his life without a father figure, Nick had filled the role with Superman, Luke Skywalker and Spider-Man (among others) as he grew up. This show narrates Nick’s life, from being smuggled out of his home country of Uganda at a young age, to the UK, Saudi Arabia and Kenya, to learning what it takes to truly become a hero. With such important shoes to fill and a distinct lack of special powers, My Father and Other Superheroes follows Nick as he discovers what it takes for a man to become a hero.

This show fuses storytelling, physical theatre and contemporary spoken word into a powerful one-hour performance.

Da-Da-Darling Impermanence Dance Theatre A dramatic and violent criticism of man, told through a nightmarish succession of sexually subversive and religiously abusive images – where love somehow remains ever present.

Da-Da-Darling is a response to surrealist artist Max Ernst’s 1930 collage-novel, A Little Girl Dreams of Taking the Veil. The original novel was created as a collage from medical and anthropological textbooks and cheap Victorian novels.

The highly theatrical and relentlessly physical performance is dream-like, with stark and rapid changes in sound and scene, encouraging the audience to enter into the surrealist logic of the work.

Coulrophobia Pickled Image A Co-Production with Nordland Visual Theatre, Norway.

Dik and Adam are traditional clowns in a very untraditional situation. They somehow find themselves in a world where everything is made of cardboard: chairs, tables, a lift, musical instruments and even a boat. They have no idea why they are here or what they are supposed to be doing; only that their actions seem to be beyond their control, almost as if someone else was making them perform against their will.

Through a series of outrageous sketches, involving slapstick, mime and much audience participation, the two clowns discover that they are indeed trapped in this cardboard world and being controlled by an evil presence.

There is only one way for them to escape their terrible predicament…

The Bookshop Band The Bookshop Band are Ben Please and Bath Spa graduate Beth Porter, who write songs inspired by books.

It all began, once upon a time in late 2010, as a collaboration between three songwriters and Mr B’s Emporium of Reading Delights, in Bath. The aim was to inject some music into the shop’s author events with the band reading the visiting author’s book and writing a song inspired by it.

Ben Please has been a guitarist, singer and songwriter in a number of bands and also writes music for film, frequently collaborating with his animator brother Mikey Please.

Together they won the BAFTA for Best Animation in 2010 for The Eagleman Stag.

Beth Porter is an in-demand cellist, recording for a huge and diverse array of artists, from The Proclaimers and Peter Gabriel, to Royal Blood, and playing on a number of film scores.

LOVE London-based actor and theatre-maker Petar Miloshevski’s work focuses on pioneering postdramatic solo projects, widely performed in UK and European theatre festivals. LOVE completes a triptych with his previous award-winning solo pieces HOPE and THE BEAUTIFUL. On a sunny spring afternoon, ‘Y’, wanting to realise at last a long-held fantasy, posted an ad looking for a partner with whom he would make love, then be killed, cut in pieces, and eaten by his lover - reaching his idea of the ultimate sexual nirvana. ‘X’ most benevolently responded to the ad.

LOVE is their love story.

Blame It is extensively documented that physical and chemical alterations to the brain can drastically affect a person’s actions. The law accommodates this with diminished responsibility sentencing, where defendants who can prove their mental processes were impaired are not held fully liable for their crimes. As the frontiers of neuroscience expand, the line between mental impairment and a supposedly ‘normal’ brain becomes increasingly blurred. The implications for the fairness of our justice system are vast. In Blame, PIGDOG will work with neuroscientists, psychologists and Bath Spa students to explore the science and philosophy behind culpability.

PIGDOG is an internationally-inspired theatre company that takes great pleasure in playing with form and expectations. Founded by director Max Barton and designer Shawn Soh, PIGDOG uses spectacular visuals and twisted narrative techniques to provoke audiences into reevaluating core beliefs and assumptions.

PIGDOG will drag you through the thorny world of Epiphenomenology - the concept that our thoughts and actions are the symptoms of physical processes outside of our control. wearepigdog.com

FLUID DATA BY KELLY THOMPSON 18 - 31 JANUARY

“Invisible digital systems surround us, at sea and on land, in the tools we depend on and like to use. My recent artwork visually and materially explores the relationship between digital data, trustworthiness, tracking systems and notions of failure, through the medium of digital jacquard weaving. When data systems go wrong what do we notice? What is the impact when the familiar or implied, that which is usually invisible, is translated into material form?”

The imagery in the Fluid Data series layers captured, found and manipulated data, error messages, symbols and codes of digital tracking, maps of global undersea internet cable routes, graphs of climate data all connected through imagery of water. Periodically data is “missing” resulting in deliberately unwoven sections, conceptual visual glitches, or data is shifted and the order of structure results in the unexpected.

5 - 15 JAN (DAYTIME) SION HILL GALLERY / WALCOT CHAPEL

TANTAMOUNT A & B The two second year exhibitions, organised across two sites at The Sion Hill Gallery and The Walcot Chapel, are curated by the Year 2 students and showcase their work and development on the Fine Art course at Bath School of Art and Design.
