Bite Size 2010
A showcase of West Midlands theatre making.
Produced by China Plate
Commissioned by mac and Warwick Arts Centre
Supported by The Junction, Cambridge
Bite Size 2010 took place at Warwick Arts Centre on the 6th of March and was a daylong showcase of new work from some of the most intrepid and original theatre makers working in the West Midlands.
This carefully selected programme took you on a whirlwind tour of the region's theatre, offering a one-off opportunity to sample a range of great work in one place on the same day.
Over the course of the day we presented work from well-established companies alongside emerging artists and companies. There was work in development, work in excerpt, and work in full. Our lineup included Stan's Cafe, Pentabus, Foursight, Kindle, Jane Packman Productions, Spanner, New Macho, Needle and Thread and Vanessa Oakes. PLUS it was the first opportunity to see two shows we commissioned especially with Warwick Arts Centre and mac following the First Bite Festival back in November 2009: Caroline Horton's You're Not Like The Other Girls Chrissy and Untied Artists' Al Bowlly's Croon Manifesto.
As well as some of the finest work being made in the West Midlands, we presented two new pieces developed with our partner venue in the East The Junction in Cambridge: This Is Now from New Art Club, and Bryony Kimmings' Sex Idiot.
