We have always had a strong connection with the arts due to my original Theatre career. When we originally started Hemingway Corporation we also had an off shoot called Hemingway Productions. Hemingway Corp used Hemingway Productions to supply actors for role play and simulation excercises and the profit went in to a pot to allow Hemingway Productions to put on plays at the Fringe in Edinburgh. With children arriving and other home comittments Hemingway Productions fell by the wayside. But I have decided to revive it!
Our next exhibition at the Gallery with be called 'Perfomance'. It opens on the 8th of August, artists are bringing work that compliments that theme - all 2D work. At the end of the exhibition,from the 25th to the 30th of August we will be hosting our own 'fringe' festival. During the day there will be story tellers, rehearsals for the Weston Soap Opera, magicians and workshops and the evenings will begin with a recording of our soap opera for the Radio followed by a short one act play then there will be music and comedy until 10.00pm every night.
Any one who wants to take part should contact me - and if anyone is interested in helping me revive Hemingway Productions they should also get in touch. I have been asked to create a simulation event for the 11th of November so there may be an opportunity to use Hemingway Productions at that. Sounds like a plan is coming together.
