ECC: Life Reflected (20,22,25 June 2017)

The ECC announces auditions for …
Something a little different

Life Reflected will be an evening of poetry readings, devised and staged by Malinda Coleman.  The poems chosen will revolve around big life themes, and will include both old favourites and new discoveries.

Malinda would ideally like six readers: three couples of three age-groups: young (20s-30s) adults, middle-aged, and the pre-old …  Everyone auditioning is invited to bring along a favourite shortish poem, but this is not obligatory.

Auditions will take place at the Warehouse on 20 & 22 June at 19.30; and 25 June at 14.00.


Performances within the period November 5 -18 2017 (possibly not the full 5 performances per week).

For further information about this project, you can e-mail Malinda at malinda_coleman@hotmail.com

ECC: Hugh Dow poetry readings & music (15-16 Sept 2017)

For Those who Know Hugh Dow –   LET’S HAVE A PARTY

Hugh Dow is holding hour-long poetry and music evenings on the 15th and 16th September.

Some of Brussel’s finest actors will be reading poems which have sustained and delighted him over 65 years. The music will be judiciously added, as tonic to gin, for dilution.

To justify the somewhat extravagant title there will be bubbly and small eats after.

To book just call 0475 65 68 51. There will be no admission charge

ITG: Waiting for Godot (6-7,10-14th Oct 2017)

Warehouse Studio Theatre

Director: Tim Myers

ALL performances are now SOLD OUT.
The waiting list is over-subscribed, there is no point adding more names. Sorry!

All is not lost…not yet at least…

People get delayed at work, a babysitter cancels, or ticket holders arrive late because they strangely expect they will find parking but don’t (parking is nearly impossible in the area).

You can turn up at the theatre, doors open at 7:30pm, you can wait in the bar area, and any seats not taken by curtain up (we don’t actually have a curtain!) will be reallocated. No promises, but if you don’t try, you won’t see it, and that’ll be that.

ECC: Life reflected (9-18 Nov 2017)

The ECC’s first production for the 2017-2018 season will be something a little different.

LIFE REFLECTED is an evening of poetry staged and directed by Malinda Coleman

9-11 and 16-18 November 2017 at 8pm
The Warehouse Studio Theatre, Rue Waelhem 69, 1030 Schaerbeek

Tickets:  €15 from https://thelittleboxoffice.com/ecc

Malinda Coleman writes: Poetry offers us the pleasure of language played and experimented with, but also can show us things about our experiences that make us feel and understand them differently, more intensely. Inspired by the Shakespearean “seven ages of man”, this collection traces our lives from the beginning to the beginning of the end … encompassing childhood, romance and coupling, parenthood, the challenges of our workaday lives, and the experiences that come along later in life.  The poems I have chosen are from both old familiar authors and many unknown contemporary poets.

It sounds serious! But expect to be surprised …I have been lucky to find an exciting group of readers, relative newcomers Agathe Osinski and James Hogan, combined with favourite familiars: Janet Middleton, Liz Ross, David Steen and Mark Prescott. First rehearsals designed to whittle down the long list of poems I compiled have already shown us something of the delight and pleasure this evening will provide.

Venue:

The Warehouse Studio Theatre, 69a Waelhemstraat, Schaerbeek.

It’s 1904. Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso – both in their twenties, neither of them yet famous – spend an evening at a bar called the Lapin Agile in Montmartre, Paris.

When two of the most inspired minds of the 20th century meet by chance, sparks fly. But is it genius igniting or egos flaring when an artist and a scientist – each destined to revolutionize an era – square off and size each other up? Continue reading →
