Improv Xpress at The Storey this Saturday!

Led by David Ash, a leading exponent of Improvisational theatre both in the UK and the USA, Improv Xpress specialises in providing interactive drama. Improvisation is a form of theatre that does not use a script to create a performance. From an audience suggestion, players then create a scene by making it up as they perform it which ensures that no two shows are ever exactly the same! You can find out more about Improv Xpress by clicking here.

Ingrid Christie at The Storey

Ingrid Christie's art is incredibly diverse yet the crux of the entire output is concerned with questions. Ingrid admits that her interest is to provoke thought and thereby raise questions, preferably on a number of levels. Totally Wired are incredibly pleased to be exhibiting Ingrid's work at The Storey this Saturday 6th June. You can view some of Ingrid's art online here.
