Hacks _and friends
Returning for a third instalment, _and friends brings you a scratch night of new contemporary performance curated by artists / producers / Hacks.
About Hacks _and friends
_and friends is a live performance, artist development and rehearsal space initiative founded in 2024. Each of our scratch nights is curated by a different artist or company, designed to bring together artists, their favourite artists and pals, and audiences up for seeing something new.
This month, we are delighted to be joined by Hacks, a producing duo who champion the work of early career artists working across theatre, contemporary performance and dance. We've got theatre, stand up, contemporary performance and dance and we hope that the and friends audience are ready to embrace our pals!
Erfan Shojanoori - “The Pursuit of Prophethood”
For as long as he can remember, Erfan has been obsessed with trying to be a good person. But the issue is he doesn't know what makes a good person, only what makes a bad one.
Kirstin Halliday - “Work in Progress: Desert Grassland Whiptail Lizards”
An extract of a WIP dance-drama exploring Desert Grassland Whiptail Lizards, a species hailed as "lesbian lizards" for their particularities.
Ifrah Qureshi - “Brave Tart”
This show is full of stereotypes. I know theatre critics slam writers for reducing everyone to mere stereotypes, but what do they know? Aren’t they just a bunch of privately educated Ottolenghi fans whose only frame of reference is Infinite Jest? Stereotypes are funny. And if you disagree with me, I’ll fly a plane into your house.
“Bold, unpredictable, and absolutely hilarious.” Kim Blythe
”Ifrah is hilarious, perceptive and deviously dark” – Elaine Malcolmson
Mark Bleakley - “SURFACE DEEP”
A performer moves with, on and for an unfixed sheet of dance floor. Layers of landscapes -psychic and real- unfold and empty out as the performer explores the poetic and sensual qualities that surround them. A new WIP combining research material from recent residency and MA programme.
