In March 2019, The FRONT ROOM staged a second night of performance-poetry-film following up our Waving Not Drowning event in 2017. The event took place on Thursday 31st May at The Loft, Albert Road.
In partnership with the New Theatre Royal as part of their Festival of the Sea, the Front Room staged an immersive theatre experience ‘Octopuses and Other Sea Creatures’ at The Square Tower, Old Portsmouth on the 1st March 2019.
This November Dr Lighthouse had the opportunity to again collaborate with the good people at The Front Room on an opening event for the 2017 Darkfest called Cure or be Cured.
Staged as part of Portsmouth Darkfest 2018, ‘Cure or be Cured’ was an evening of spoken word, film projections and immersive theatre all inspired by the iconic Plague Doctors who tried to cure sufferers of the Black Death in the 14th Century.
The Front Room, organisers of Not Waving But Downing invited Dr Lighthouse to collaborate on the production of an event that would bring together poetry, film and performance into one unified experience.
Dr Lighthouse was commissioned to produce a 15-20 minute live video projection for the conclusion of the Mexican Day of the Dead celebrations on 30th October 2015 at Top of the Town, Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK.
A commission from Big Adventures funded by the Arts Council, Basingstoke & Dean Borough Council and Hampshire Cultural Trust to work with Proteus Theatre Creation Space.
