TOAST at GDIF

It was fantastic to be back out performing to a live audience, after 5 months of purely digital/online activity, albeit a little further away and apart than we’re use to. But we’ll take it… best* gig of the Summer.

We’re very grateful to the team at GDIF for making this work, we felt safe, supported and energised. The fantastic BSL interpreter was such a great addition to the shows.

We really hope you enjoyed the perfomances as much as we did.

Here’s hoping Autumn/Winter will see some events made possible and 2021 can learn from this year and the outdoor arts can adapt and forge ahead.

*Only live in person gig of the summer 🙁

TOAST – part of the Without Walls 2020 Programme

It’s official!

We are very excited to finally be able to talk about being part of Without Walls UK new programme of touring shows for 2020.

We can’t wait to get #TOAST out on the road. August 2020 sees us finally returning to the rehearsal room to prepare a socially distant version of the show at the end of the month as part of GDIF’s On Your Doorstep programme.

Big Thanks for the Support Without Walls & for the commissioning Wiltshire Creative.

And ACE, WithoutWalls Blueprint and Wild Rumpus for their support in the R&D stages of the show.

The programme brings together a diverse range of artists and companies, from established street artists to young upcoming companies and artists with an international profile. From the epic and spectacular to the intimate and emotional, the 2020 commissions reflect the times we live in and aim to engage audiences by uniting them in a collective experience that they will remember for years to come.We will continue to give each artist a platform to showcase their ambitious projects. We are pleased that most of our projects have been able to rework their plans in the light of the pandemic and those that are not able to present their work in 2020 are optimistic that they will be able to present their work in 2021.

Wilford’s Lockdown Diaries

Lockdown has largely scuppered our plans for touring this Spring/Summer. But has meant that Wilford (SEED‘s leading man), who’s holed up in Pete and Eleanor’s garden has had some time to muse and send out some virtual messages in bottles.

Here’s a taster for you…  EPISODE 01. Planting SEEDs

 

Check out our facebook for the series so far and all new episode releases…

 

 

We are massively missing the outdoor arts, the calendar is a wash with cancelled festival/event bookings. April should have seen TOAST venture to Salisbury International Arts Festival for the premiere of the full show, SIAF kindly commsissioned some development of the show and we very much hope that we can repay the support next year.

We are in the process of planning some digital SEED performances for Tameside MBC.  Check our Dates page for all announcements on future touring, we are hopeful we shall see you out and about before too long.
