Cotton Club News

Date: 14 Feb 2011
Would you like to perform in the decadent cabaret? Shine like a star at this night reminiscent of the original Cotton Club? Do you have anything (stylish, funny, strange, evocative, sophisticated….) that you would like to perform to an audience of around 250 people? Would you like to put something together for it?
Typically, the piece should be about 3 minutes long and able to be performed on stage in an area of about 3 meters long and 2 metres wide. Each piece can have up to 6 performers - or a solo piece if you’ve got the pizzazz! There is a vocal mic available if you need it and sound equipment for any pre-recorded music you might use.
You might want to dance, sing, recite, amuse, mime……The only stipulation is that you keep your clothes on (if the removal of items of clothing is central to your piece, please talk to me before you start rehearsing!)

You are invited to show us what you’ve prepared on Wednesday 30th March in the Firkin Crane from 6.30pm - 7.15pm….. The Xtra - factor without Simon Crowell!! Good-humoured “Judges” will be Jessica Peel-Yates, Elaine Peace, Jools Rixon and Stef Mc Sherry…….. and your fellow auditioners! Be ready to perform your piece twice. Following the feedback, you’ll have a month to fine tune your piece so that you can WOW the crowds on the big night. There is space in the cabaret for about three pieces, so make it slick!

To celebrate your night in the lime light, you will receive a DVD of the cabaret, some great photos of your performance, a free ticket into the Cotton Club as well as free rehearsal space (when available in the Firkin Crane) in April to fine tune your piece.
You would need to be available for a full cabaret rehearsal 7th May sometime between 6pm and 8pm (exact time to be confirmed nearer the date) and the cabaret will be around 9.15pm - 9.45pm.
Please contact Elaine if you are interested on 087 413 4077. It'll be a blast!
Elaine and Jessica
