On Sunday evening, Holly and I got into the festive spirit at the ADeC Christmas party. All dressed up in our sparkliest clothes, we attended our first networking bash as a pair to promote Mutabilitie theatre company.
I'd like to recommend the venue for this get-together - the Babylon Gallery in Ely. Not many people know of this haven for artists and artistic types. It houses the work of some of the local area's most vibrant and exciting artists - a selective collection worthy of a visit for sure. Located by the picturesque river, just a short walk from the Maltings theatre and with some lovely waterside pubs nearby, it's a great place for a Sunday afternoon stroll. Had Holly and I had more time, I'm sure we could've spent the whole afternoon there ourselves.
We joined the room of chattering sounds, bright artworks and smiling faces. Picking up one cranberry juice and one orange (we know, we must calm down our wild partying ways!) we began to let some really rather lovely people know about the wonder that is Mutabilitie.
Amongst those we spoke to were ADeC Director Jane Wilson and Events Manager Nathan Jones.
Nathan seemed fascinated by our Everyday Fairytales and hopes to come watch one of our last performances during his Christmas shopping. We can't wait to see you there Nathan! And having heard of our escapades, Jane enquired into our walkabout talents. It turns out the ever-popular Strawberry Fair needs a team of entertainers. Reflecting on our recent experiences we believe we could do a fine job! So another project may well be on its way!
Both kind souls seemed very interested in Beowulf. Thanks to the scale and depth of this piece, it is sure to be the most exciting project yet for the company. And Holly's plans for our Edinburgh Fringe play were helped by both Nathan and Jane's suggestions. We'll be letting you know more details of this asap.
So, with a productive year almost behind us we're now looking forward to a very promising 2008 ahead.
