Blank Media Collective

Upcoming Event: Ross Sutherland at BLANKSPACE In_Tuition

Tuesday 10 May 2011, 6:30pm - Tuesday 10 May 2011, 8:30pm

BLANKSPACE, MANCHESTER

Blank Media Collective are proud to present Ross Sutherland at BLANKSPACE; a special In_Tuition session, performing The Three Stigmata of Pacman followed by an open Q&A session with the artist himself. All for free.

The Times’ Top Ten Literary Star Of The Year and Time Out Award Winner combines animation with poetic lyricism in his battle with the self-fulfilling prophecy. A true story about time travel.

Ross Sutherland’s job is to predict the future. Working for a well-known national newspaper, Ross spends his days surrounded by people speculating on Britain’s imminent collapse. As far as his office is concerned, The Future is already written, and it doesn’t look good.

But when the recession hits, Ross finds himself out of a job and on his way back to Essex to live with his parents. Trapped in his own past, warring with his old enemy (the local Spar), Ross must use his time capsule as a means of escape. But How? Does the secret to understanding the future lie in a yellow pill-munching character from his past?

“Ross Sutherland’s debut show melds stand-up, satire and sinuous verse, making the 29 year-old spoken-word artist one of the most exciting new voices to emerge on the Fringe this year. A real star in the making.“____ – The Independent

BLANKSPACE In_Tuition is an open forum for creatives based in the North-West. An opportunity for artists to talk about their work and inspire others through creative understanding, musing and action!

On the second Tuesday of each month the focus is literature and creative writing. Informal and relaxed discussions of technique in poetry, prose, scripts and visual realisations through text mix with debate around contemporary and classic stylings from particular authors and publications of interest.

In this one-off session, Ross will perform his show and then open the floor to the audience to put questions to him, about the show, about writing and performance, how to create a life in the creative industry; any burning questions that come to mind!

This special evening is free to attend, so don’t miss out! Come to BLANKSPACE (43, Hulme Street, Manchester M15 6AW) from 6.30pm and join the discussion.
