Cat Alive Theatre
This is the blog for my new company, I suppose…which currently consists of only me. I am planning a series of interventions that will take place on the Warwick University campus, and I will write about them here. The blog has had a bit of a rushed beginning - it needs a manifesto, and some fleshing out - but, as I have explained in my second post, one must seize opportunities!
You get home from a long day at work and turn on the TV. It’s been a long week, so you think to yourself- maybe i’ll take the family to a movie on Saturday. Maybe we’ll even go on a vacation soon! We could visit museums and go to plays and see all sorts of fun attractions.
When you turned the TV on, nothing happened. There are no actors to entertain you.
When you went to the movie theater, nothing was showing. There were no advertisements to tell you that anything was showing, so you went to the theater to find out. Nothing playing. There is no one to film and create movies for you. Well at least your vacation will be fun, right? Not like there will be any plays to see and there won’t be anything in the art museums.
Well at least you have the shack you are living in that you made out of cardboard and sheets.
Not like you could find an architect to build you a house with all the money you’re making as an engineer.
Also, please allow me to direct you to Clowns Without Borders, Clini-Clowns, Geese Theatre, and let me ask you how you plan to advertise your business? How are you intending to put the name of your business over the front door? Good luck with that one.

ohshitthatisfresh asked: oh yeah it's the same here! nah i go to goldsmiths in london. definitely wasn't good enough to get into warwick haha, my a levels were alright but not immense enough for warwick. what kinda theatre do you cover on your course? do you have any plans for next year? i'm second year and starting to freak out out about third year and graduating ha x
Don’t worry - I got a D in my Brecht/unseen paper. I think I only just passed the unseen section, and then got the rest of the points on the Brecht. God did I hate that paper! At the end of the day, though, I think you only get as much out of your degree as you put in.
We cover alsorts of stuff. I did Intro to Performance, Intro to Theatre (both covering the basics of both, really, introducing theories, everything from Ancient Greece to Modernism to Chris Burden and Orlan and Blast Theory, etc etc) and Contemporary Performance Practices in first year (all compulsory), then in second year I did theory modules in the American Avant-Garde 1960-1980, Performing Online, Performance Realities (things like the Tricycle plays, Spalding Gray, etc) and Pantomime Idealogy & Culture; practical modules in Writing for Performance, and Performance and Text (“text” meaning absolutely anything that can be “read”, so, spaces, buildings, etc etc). This year, I’ve taken Theatre of ‘New’ Europe, Interpreting the Theatrical Past, Dramaturgy, and a written dissertation in clowning.
Don’t freak out! Trust me, we’re all wandering around the Theatre Dept asking each other if we’ve plans yet. I’ve sent my CV to a couple of places, and I’m looking at maybe getting involved in script writing at the Royal Exchange in Manchester. I submitted a script to the Bruntwood Prize, which…well…I knew wasn’t going to get anywhere, but it doesn’t hurt to try! I’m hoping to do the Edinburgh Fringe 2013 with a couple of friends of mine and a short script I’ve written that can be adapted for street work. You will be just fine :D
