The Physical Fest is back in its 10th year. Liverpool’s Times Theatre and Physical Fest this year is being run from 23 My to 31 May. For the first time a special warm-up weekend too will be featured on 10th and 11th of May, before the main event, for young people and families. The event will be hosting a weekend full of free workshops and performances. A collaborative piece by Bluecoat, local students and local practitioners, will be hosted with others at the Blucoat, under the Times Theatre.
On 10 May, Saturday, there will be a workshop for developing juggling skills, led by Tim Lenkiewicz of Square Peg Contemporary Circus. Saturday will also host ‘Fest Out There’, a physical performance produced by a joint participatory project. On Saturday another workshop – Acrobatics for Families will be held. A final workshop will be by The Eggmen, to teach the basics of mask work.
On 11 May, Sunday, there will be a programme for carers and parents of children called Family Dance and Music Jam. A second session on Acrobatics and a physical comedy workshop by The Eggmen will be at the close of the programme.
