An evening of improvised performances in different mediums with a range of curated acts and ‘open mic’ slots
About the night:
Mind the Gap is an ongoing series of events, bringing together improvised performances in different mediums. Every MTG, with its individual constellation of acts, curators and audiences has a different feel but is always full of curiosity, creativity and surprises.
In this spirit, we present ‘Mind The Gap: Open Night’! A special edition of MTG, featuring an ‘open mic’ style element. The night will have 4 Curated Acts and at least 4 Open Acts, selected at random from people who put their names forward on the night.
Past line ups have included dancers, musicians, spoken word artists, actors, comedians, drag artists and zine makers and as MTG continues, remains open to new connections, suggestions, proposals and experiments.
‘It is so inspiring and necessary to have such a playful and honest space where people can share and witness live creativity’ – an audience member from MTG8

Want to perform as one of the ‘Open Acts’?
Mind the Gap: Open Night, will have 4 ‘Open Acts’. These will be 5 minute slots, filled on the night by audience members who want to share an improvised performance in any medium or style.
Before the show starts we will collect names of interested individuals/groups and then, from all names presented, we will select 4 at random.
For these acts, the stage will be lit and a mic available but no further tech assistance will be available.
To sign up for an ‘Open Act’ you must have a ticket to the night but the selected ‘Open Acts’ will receive £20 and the cost of one ticket returned.
