Getting Out More
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009 04:37 pm1. Cambridge people: the menu for Green Box (the new sushi place on Mill Rd) is online here, at LocalSecrets, with a 20%-off voucher. I am very impressed with Green Box -- excellent sushi, friendly staff, free salad for me last night when I battled Weather to pick up a Special Family Box.
2. London people: Saturday sees the Liberty Festival in Trafalgar Square. Gary Lloyd (some of you may remember him from Eastercon) emailed me with heads-up re 'Nocturne':
In this urgent sleepless city
restless, we are caught in motion
nearly stillness
almost lovers
Marc Brew Company pull back the sheets on exhausted embraces and near misses in the night. Inspired by JM Whistler's Nocturne, an exquisite contemporary dance quartet draw you into the unseen dreams of cities at dusk.
Nocturne has been conceived and created by choreographer Marc Brew and designer-dramaturg Luke Pell. With original music from composer Gary Lloyd which feature recordings of cello performed by Luke Moore and prose (written by Luke Pell) spoken by Iain Banks, author of the Wasp Factory.
Performed by Graham Adey, Marc Brew, Daniela B Larsen and Tilly Webber
Commissioned by and for Greenwich and Docklands International Festival. A Without Walls Commission.
Liberty Festival - Trafalgar Square, London

on Facebook here. I don't think I'll make it, but would be interested in hearing about it if you do!
3. Coming soon (ish), my write-up of David Byrne's 'Playing the Building' as documented (with Photographic Evidence) by
major_clanger here.
