Autumn 2012 Season

Arena Theatre Launches Autumn Season

So for those of tyou that have followed my blog for a while, you are probably aware that I currently work at the Arena Theatre and I am in charge of their marketing for the time being. Well, I wanted to dedicate this post to the launch of new season here at the Arena Theatre.

We have quite a wonderful Season lined up for you if I am honest. I am quite excited by it. We even have a week's worht of 'Mad Science' workshops for all kids aged 4 - 12 years in the October half term plus it has a Haloween theme to it for extra pizazz. So if you do have children that you are stuck with in the half term - you should enquire here at the Arena for fun things to do.

Of course, when launching a new season you always need a new brochure and this is where I have come in with Marketing this Season. The September - December seasons brochure has took many a proof and a spell check but I have managed to complete it with little mistakes (Fingers crossed) I am quite proud of myself in a way as a designer I am not but I have given it my best shot. I have managed to get an online version for you to browse through. See below:

All in all, quite a hot season. I believe it to be quite a 'celebratory' season if you like as we as a Theatre are doing alot to celebrate 'Black History Month' with some wonderful shows coming to us from the likes of Gazebo Theatre, Jamfolk, Fittings Multimedia Arts and many many more. Plus, we like to celebrate that old Festive time - Christmas with quite a few Christmas shows coming to us. This makes me happy as Christmas is easily the best time of year and one that I feel everyone should celebrate and enjoy! :-)

The Bond Villain That is ... Berkoff

So A little while back I mentioned the Arena Theatre (My place of work) having the Legend that is 'Mr Steven Berkoff' performing on the 8th and 9th February. Well it has all been getting very exciting here at the Venue and the man himself has now arrived and is one successful show down.

From what I can gather (as I am yet to watch the performance) it is going down a storm and is utterly wonderful. To be honest - I expect nothing less from this master Villain.

I wanted to share with you the following Press Release for this show in our Local Newspaper the 'Express and Star.'

"One of Hollywood’s greatest bad guys will be in Wolverhampton this week for a rare two-night performance at the Arena Theatre.

Steven Berkoff will present a masterclass in evil on Wednesday and Thursday, February 7 and 8, 2012, when he stars in Shakespeare’s Villains.Berkoff has fashioned a career from being one of the most evil players on stage and screen.

Arena Theatre spokeswoman Jess Harper said: “Renowned throughout the world as actor, writer and director, Berkoff is known to many for the villains he has played in mainstream films – Octopussy, Beverly Hills Cop, Rambo and The Krays.”
Berkoff will look at characters who are inherently evil, whose situation leads them to evil deeds or who are at the mercy of an evil society. He will use his experience to describe dastardly Shakespearian characters in a way that will challenge and exhilarate.

Contemporary dance is also in store at the Arena, with Retina Dance presenting Layers Of Skin.
Six dancers will perform in a piece of work with original choreography from Filip Van Huffel and music from Joris Vanvinckenroye and Aranis.

Tickets are available from http://www.arena.wlv.ac.uk/
