Different summer....
Summer is a time to let go a little and so
this season at The Point we’re trying out some new ideas as well as
revisiting some audience favourites. A Snip of the Fringe (15-18 May)
offers a unique opportunity to see 8 sell out shows from Edinburgh
07 over three days, with fantastic ticket deals and a fringe
atmosphere in our bar café. Meanwhile, Summer Strides (15-27 June) offers
two weeks of films, community dance performances and workshops and
two very special events with the collected works of maverick
dance/film artists Liz Aggiss and Billy Cowie and a visit by
Jonathan Lunn’s wonderful company. Then for the first time this
year Summer
Sparks! (28 July – 3 August) takes over The Point
with a season of films and comedy performances for children as
soon as school breaks up for summer.
This summer also sees some exciting
developments at The Point. On Monday 4 August the venue will close
for a month so that building work can begin on our phase3 building
project which will provide a range of improvements to existing
facilities and a brand new studio and rehearsal space on the site.
We’ll be open again this September to launch the autumn season as
usual but building will continue throughout next year and the new
Point facilities will be unveiled in autumn 09. We’ll keep you
posted of developments as we go of course and you’ll be able to get
an update at any time on our web site.
So as the weather gets warmer, the doors are
flung open and the café tables move outside to the garden we look
forward to seeing you for something a little different this
summer.
