CROSSINGTHE DIVIDE
Autumn 2010 represents an
important step forward for the
Nuffield Theatre, Peter Scott Gallery
and Lancaster International Concert
Series. Our new combined name –
Live at LICA – signals our relationship
with Lancaster Institute for the
Contemporary Arts, and our role as a
vibrant provider of professional
public performances and exhibitions
for the campus, the city and the
region.
Our artistic programme has been put
together by a new team; and for the
first time the season has a linking
theme: crossing divides, be they
cultural, artistic or historical.
Autumn also sees some important
new partnerships. With Litfest we
present the fantastic Carol Ann
Duffy; with Ludus Dance we have
commissioned three of the UK’s
most distinctive choreographers; and
we have brought together

Box Office 01524 594151
The effortless virtuosity, directness and
humanity of Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy’s
verse have made her our most admired and
best-loved contemporary poet.
“In the world of British poetry Carol Ann
Duffy is a superstar” The Guardian
Carol Ann Duffy lives in Manchester, where
she is Professor and Creative Director of The
Writing School at Manchester Metropolitan
University. She has written for children and
adults, and has received many awards,
including the Signal Prize for Children’s
Verse, the Whitbread and Forward Prizes,
and the E. M. Forster Prize in America. In
2005, she won the T.S. Eliot Prize for her
collection Rapture.
MAKINGTIME
THEPRINCESS’BLANKETS
BY CAROL ANN DUFFY
SATURDAY 16 OCTOBER, 10.30AM
at The Platform, Morecambe
Box Office 01524 582803
Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy presents her
illustrated children’s book The Princess’
Blankets with musician John Sampson.
A magical blend of poetry, music and
fairytale for children of 7 and over.
The Princess’ Blankets is a powerful new
fairy tale of a princess who cannot get
warm. Told to a stunning backdrop of
illustrations by Catherine Hyde, this is a
unique event not to be missed.
Litfest in partnership with Live at LICA, The
Platform and Shout About Books
How might a performance last an entire
year? How do we mark time and how
does it mark us?
Since October 2009, the Making Time garden
has been a continual presence outside the
Peter Scott Gallery. Created by artists
Elizabeth Willow and Jonathan Raisin, it is
their response to a Nuffield Theatre
commission to develop a year-long
performance.
Behind this transformation of a neglected
space is an exploration of presence and
absence, the nature of performance, and the
ways we experience and respond to time.
Through the changing seasons, Making Time
is a live essay in performance and a uniquely
positive take on durational art.
At noon on the 21 October the artists will
leave the garden. During the weeks leading
up to this there will be events to mark the
ending of the year. Details will be available on
the Nuffield website, and garden visitors are
always welcome.
The artists are creating a book for publication
later in the year; and in Spring 2011 we will
host a symposium to consider further the
concepts and ideas behind the project.

EXHIBITIONS
It’s thrilling as the Exhibitions
and Events Officer at an
interdisciplinary arts organisation
to find the art forms naturally
crossing over this Autumn.
The captivating film-based works
of Ellie Rees and Hetain Patel
have clear links with the worlds
of composition and
performance, while Eduardo
Paolozzi’s stunning prints draw
on advertising, design, fashion
and Hollywood.

EXHIBITIONS
ELLIE REES
PRETTY EYED PIRATE SMILE
13 OCTOBER –
13 NOVEMBER 2010
Opening 12 October 6pm
Ellie Rees creates carefully
constructed performances which
employ humour and irony to
investigate what it means to be a
woman and an artist. Rees is
especially interested in archetypes
and narrative structures on the
subject of gender and love found
within opera and Hollywood film. It
is the often exaggerated and over
simplified depictions of ourselves in
these art forms that Rees reflects on,
in particular that of women in high
and popular culture and the
inconsistency between the liberated
female role and the romantic views
proposed by those cultures.
Rees’ work both plays with and
questions the nature of
performance, particularly looking at

13 OCTOBER – 17 DECEMBER 2010
Opening 12 October 6pm
Hetain Patel’s films look at communication, rhythm and
movement. In the two films Kanku Raga and To Dance Like
Your Dad, Patel takes particular influence from Tabla and
inheritance versus imitation. The presentation of Patel’s films
will coincide with a performance of his new work TEN,
which takes place in the Nuffield Theatre on 4 November

collection will be on show alongside Patel’s films.

document a live performance event
with an audience, but to make a
precise performance to camera. Rees
has described her work as a quest
for perfection that can never be
achieved, saying that her quest as a
performer could function as an
analogy for the quest for perfection
in romance.
EDUARDO PAOLOZZI
GENERAL DYNAMIC F.U.N.
23 NOVEMBER – 17 DECEMBER 2010
Opening 22 November 6pm
A compulsive collector, a jumbler of icons and a
pioneer of Pop, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi (1924–
2005) is equally revered for his mechanistic
sculptures and his kaleidoscopic print projects.
General Dynamic F.U.N is a series of fifty
screenprints and photolithographs created
between 1965 and 1970, for which Paolozzi
employs the technologies of mass-reproduction
and gorges on its idols – the household names
and familiar faces of consumer advertising, high
fashion and Hollywood. For Paolozzi, the
modern age, exposed as ephemera, is a
necessarily fragmented collision of visual
stimulus and influence.
A Hayward Touring exhibition from Southbank
Centre, London.
TAKESHI MURATA
UNTITLED (PINK DOT)
23 NOVEMBER – 17 DECEMBER 2010
Opening 22 November 6pm
Working with the iconic 1982 Sylvester Stallone film
Rambo: First Blood, Takeshi Murata has created a sliding,
undulating film that grows out of the Hollywood movie,
shifting from figural to digital abstraction and back again.
A pulsing pink dot takes centre stage as scenes crumble and
melt into themselves and each other.

CONCERTS
In my first season, I am thrilled to
introduce a series of concerts
that I know you will find
uplifting and inspiring. Great
classics stand alongside superb
new works by living composers.
International artists and
household names take their
place alongside career-launching
performances by emerging
young talent. There’s some
virtuosic genre-bending by
Czech trio Bardolino and a brand
new in-house adaptation of
Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker for
children.
The season opens magnificently
with one of the world’s top
orchestras performing a
programme that has been
chosen by you, the audience.
This vibrant mix is what makes
our Lancaster concerts so
special, personal and unique -
I invite you to join me in
celebrating them this season.

FORCED ENTERTAINMENT LUDUS DANCE AND NUFFIELDTHEATRE LANCASTER PRESENT

THETHRILL OF IT ALL
UK PREMIERE
12 & 13 OCTOBER 8PM NUFFIELD THEATRE
WEB ADVANCE: £10 / £7 CONCESSIONS
STANDARD: £11 / £8 CONCESSIONS
A new show from Forced Entertainment is a major event in the UK theatrical
calendar, so we are delighted to be hosting this important UK Premiere.
The company’s 25-year body of work reflects an interest in the mechanics
of theatre itself, the role of the audience, and the machinations of
contemporary urban life. “One of Britain’s greatest theatre companies”
(The Guardian), these pioneers of the British avant-garde have an
unparalleled international reputation.
In The Thrill Of It All, nine performers in grubby tuxedos play out a comical
and disconcerting vaudeville to the strains of Japanese lounge music.
Deranged dancing girls swirl, giggle and bicker. Shabby comperes compete
for the microphone and the audience’s attention. Dances end in fights, jokes
end in confusion, and sentimental stories end in arguments in this unsettling
and extraordinary performance.
Forced Entertainment is regularly funded by Arts Council England.

19 OCTOBER 8PM NUFFIELD THEATRE
WEB ADVANCE: £10 / £7 CONCESSIONS
STANDARD: £11 / £8 CONCESSIONS
A jaw-dropping dance theatre spectacle that will have you laughing out loud
and holding back the tears.
For the first time, Ludus Dance and the Nuffield Theatre have together
commissioned three new dance pieces. In this electrifying triple-bill, three of
the UK’s most prominent choreographers – Nigel Charnock, Yael Flexer and
Ben Wright – each take you on a compelling journey of cause and effect, in a
pulse-racing mix of energetic dance, theatre and music.
Nigel Charnock brings you a thunderously chaotic chunk of dance theatre
that explores the effects of order and chaos on our lives, whilst poking fun at
the self-destructing tendencies of our fame hungry society. Yael Flexer’s
‘show within a show’ sees the four dancers caught up in the ripple effect of
their own decisions as they create a show before your very eyes. Meanwhile,
Ben Wright’s choreography calls us to seize the moment… NOW!
Suitable for 10 years plus and family audiences.

trademark bold visual theatre style and absurd humour.
If That’s All There Is takes shape as a mini-epic of longing, envy and psychobabble that

UK/Belgium-based theatre company Reckless Sleepers formed in 1988, taking its name
from a painting by the Belgian surrealist Rene Magritte. Led by Artistic Director Mole
Wetherell, they have become an important and distinctive voice in contemporary
theatre, always combining intellectual inquiry with deadpan humour.
Commissioned by the Nuffield Theatre, Reckless Sleepers’ new show is about time, and
travelling, and the rehearsals for the lunar landings. It’s about what happens when
performers become moon-rock, re-enact a zero gravity moonwalk, or leave footprints
that will never disappear. Dancing to the songs that astronauts sung as they went into
orbit, it’s a 40th anniversary trip to the moon.
