Jo Ronan, theatre-maker, performance lecturer and PhD student, together with members of the newly created BloodWater Theatre, would like to invite you to a performance of Whose Story Is It Anyway, a developing project that challenges assumptions of ways of making theatre. 


The two performances at the Tron, Glasgow on the 15th of October at 2.30pm and 8pm respectively are free but ticketed. 

Please refer to http://www.jamie-walker.com/BloodWaterTheatre  and/or http://www.tron.co.uk/event/whos_story_is_it_anyway/ for more information about the project and ticket reservations.

As there are only two performances, tickets are limited so please let the Tron box office know if you have made a reservation but are unable to attend.

Be the first to catch the nascent stage of this pioneering work!

Vault Lounge: Art, Money and Value


artists talking about making a living

6.30pm to 8.30pm 9th September, The Briggait, 141 Bridgegate, Glasgow

As part of the Vault Art Glasgow event, we are pleased to present an open panel discussion offering diverse perspectives on those tricky questions about how artists negotiate between audiences/publics, patrons/funders, markets and communities. In what different ways do contemporary artists ‘realise value’ from their work and get the resources that they need to keep working? What is at stake when we talk about buying and selling artworks? How do different people in Glasgow’s contemporary art world see their relationship with the wider cultural economy?

Chaired/introduced by Graham Jeffery (University of the West of Scotland)

With contributions from:

Peter McCaughey (Glasgow School of Art) on public art/private art
Simon Cronshaw: http://www.culturelabel.com/ on new markets, new media
Amanda Dobbratz (IRONBBRATZ) on art and entrepreneurship
Katarzyna Kosmala, UWS on not-for-profit art & artistic life in ‘emerging markets’
Michelle Daniels - Market Gallery (www.marketgallery.org.uk) on what the ‘gallery’ can do in the 21st Century
