SEAS minus 3 days

I thought I'd spend the next few days taking photos of some of the Skegness venues and describing the events taking place at them but see SEAS for full details. (Appologies to Mablethorpe as Skegness is where I live and will spending most of my time volunteering).

Above is Skegness Pier but it is sadly much reduced in length after storm and fire damage. On 25-27 at 7PM September Turkish theatre company Tiyatro Oyunevi will be performing Waiting by the pier. Exploring themes of migration this play incorporates movement, music and song and is performed in three languages. Also on Skegness beach from dawn to dusk on 26-27 September is The Silicone Boys, an exhibition of colourful heads arranged to represent childhood grouping patterns and the passing of innocence.

Over 26-27 September between 11AM and 6PM the Fantomat machines will be displayed on the pier (it will also be at the Hildreds Shopping Centre and on the Sea Front at Mablethope - again see SEAS). These human like figures have slots for eyes and looking through them takes the viewer on an odyssey.

On the right of this photo is the X-Site Skatepark at the very end of North Parade on the seafront. This is where Monday in the Sun will be performed on 29-30 September at 9PM.

This Turkish dance piece explores male friendship and is being re-interpreted for its Skegness debut. Also at at X-Site from 26 September there will be skate sessions, breakdance workshops, urban art, a photography exhibition and more.


Straight ahead in the above photo is the Sea View pub where Glorious Death will be performed on 1-2 October at 8PM (also at the Fairway Restaurant, Mablethorpe 28-29 September).

This Swedish drama uses popular song and video to ask questions about Europe's past, present and future and is performed by a Turkish counter-tenor.
