18th and 19th June 2010 | ‘Love and War’ at the Sage, Gateshead

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 08:45:15 +0000

In his startling new work Mark Bruce uses theatre-in-the-round and a soundtrack including Sparklehorse, The White Stripes, Nirvana, Queens of the Stone Age, Tom Waits and György Ligeti, to plunge the imagination into a raw arena of the otherworld.

Time shifts and figures from myth and ritual collide; Gods emerge amongst frenzied cheerleaders, murderous strangers, dogs of war and bedraggled homecoming queens, in a heart-searching dance work of savage beauty.

Love and War is the Mark Bruce Company’s latest full-length production since its critically acclaimed Sea of Bones.

“the seven characters in Love and War turn out to be darker and more potent than any circus troupe.” The Guardian

“Love And War is an intoxicating carnival of emotions that’s bursting with violent passion, rich symbolism and genuine beauty” – Suit Yourself Magazine

“Bruce’s choreography has never looked more inventive, with classically based moves twisted into ferocious gestures of destruction or strung out into decadent ennui. The dancers are excellent.” (Sea of Bones) The Guardian

Please note that there are two performances of this concert – on the 18th and 19th of June 2010.

Ten Things To Try Out In Toon

Paul33 — Wed, 12 May 2010 09:07:23 +0000

Ten Great Reasons for Visiting Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle may not be the largest city in the United Kingdom but it is one full of history, culture, entertainment and so much more. Here are just ten of the reasons for visiting Newcastle upon Tyne.

History of Newcastle and Tyneside

Newcastle has a history spanning 1800 years, when it was first made into a settlement by the Romans as a fort for the protection of a bridge over the important River Tyne.

Since this time, Newcastle upon Tyne has played a pivotal role in the history of the United Kingdom in so many facets, many of which have left their legacy on the city you can see today.

The history of the city of Newcastle is multi-layered, and a visit to Newcastle will open the eyes of anyone who visits as they wander around the city taking in the historical monuments and buildings of days gone by.

Nightlife in Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle is renowned across the UK and Europe for its night life.

Many a group of revellers love to descend on this northern city to enjoy a wonderful night out in the many pubs, bars and clubs throughout the city.

Newcastle Theatres

Newcastle upon Tyne certainly has a great theatrical scene within the city.

With many theatres in and around Tyneside there is much to choose from, the most famous of which being the largest theatre: the Theatre Royal which opened in 1837.

Museums in Newcastle upon Tyne

For those that enjoying touring around museums, Newcastle will not disappoint.

With many great museums to visit such as The Discovery Museum, The Great North Museum and the Newburn Hall Motor Museum, Newcastle, Tyneside and the surrounding area has a lot to offer.

Art Galleries in Newcastle

Newcastle upon Tyne has long inspired the arts, and for this reason has a number of great art galleries where works of art from local and international artists can be seen in all their glory.

Just two such art galleries are the Gallagher & Turner Gallery and Laing Art Gallery.

Newcastle upon Tyne Concerts

There are many music venues in the city which draw a lot of music lovers to Newcastle.

The largest of these venues are the Metro Radio Arena which holds 11,000 people and the O2 Academy Newcastle, as well as the BALTIC by the River Tyne.

River Tyne, Newcastle

The main reason that Newcastle has become the renowned city it is today is the impact of the River Tyne: it was the reason a settlement was created in the first place, and has been a driving force in the growth of the city ever since.

The River Tyne is a wonderful place to visit for walks, cycling, boating and much more. If you love Britain’s waterways or would just like to find a place to get away from it all, then the River Tyne in Newcastle is the place to visit.

Newcastle United Football Club

With the United Kingdom being a place full of football mad fans, Newcastle United is a popular reason to visit the city of Newcastle upon Tyne.

With a rich history, huge fan base and an amazing ground in St. James Park, a visit to Newcastle United’s home is a must for any visitor to the city.

The Great North Run in Newcastle upon Tyne

Newcastle is the host to one of the world’s most popular half marathon road running events: the Great North Run.

The Great North Run is a huge event that attracts massive crowds and is an annual attraction for visitors to the city of Newcastle.
