FEAST
PART OF TRANSFORM 15
West Yorkshire Playhouse, Saturday 2 May 2015, 2pm
BOX OFFICE: 0113 213 7700 or www.wyp.org.uk, Tickets £15
As part of Transform 15, this Saturday West Yorkshire Playhouse is
inviting audiences to FEAST, an unforgettable afternoon of delicious
international cuisine, world music and conversation. Taking place on
the Quarry Stage, which will be transformed into an intimate pop-up
restaurant by designer Hannah Wilson, the afternoon includes tasty
courses served by culinary artists alongside a range of speakers
offering their take on the theme: ‘What does it mean to be local and
global in 2015 and beyond?’
The mix of local and international speakers include Lebanese theatre
maker and social activist Lucien Bourjelly, Lucy Neal co-founder of
London International Festival of Theatre, Arthur France founder of
Leeds West Indian Festival, City of Sanctuary’s Rose McCarthy and
Irna Qureshi, Co-Director of Bradford Literature Festival. Adding to
the debate and culinary delights will be music from Leeds based
musician Richard Ormrod playing a mix of all the world music he’s
ever been fortunate enough to come across.
Established by West Yorkshire Playhouse in 2011, this year TRANSFORM
is shifting and inviting artists and audiences to join the
conversation about its future development. The three days of
activities at TRANSFORM 15 include feasting, conversation and
celebration, including an explosive night of performance, music and
intervention at the TRANSFORM PARTY. At the centre of the weekend are
early stage showings of future TRANSFORM projects, presented by local
and international artists. Committed to developing and presenting
adventurous performance and extraordinary experiences in Leeds,
TRANSFORM has presented an array of productions, performances and
events throughout the Playhouse building and outside its doors. Four
years on, with plans to move to a more citywide and international
model – TRANSFORM 15 offers an opportunity to be a part of shaping
the future of TRANSFORM.
