This August, Tramway goes Beyond its Walls with Free Community Events

Aug 5

This month, look out for Tramway Beyond Walls from the Southside arts venue. The ongoing programme takes performance and creative participation outwith the physical limits of its building, and into the community. The upcoming line-up includes participation, film, and family events – and it’s all free and unticketed.

Joel O’Donoghue’s Brain on Saturday 20 August is a meditation on memory loss and how it can change an individual’s connection to society. It will combine dance performance, knitting - and cake! Catch this dance work at East Pollokshields Quad (12 noon) and community arts space The Bowling Green, Kenmure Street (3pm).

Jennifer Taggart’s Pebbles and Pathways, Thursday 25 and Saturday 27 August, is an interactive dance performance which will create a fun and welcoming space where children and adults can move the pebble path, make shapes, dance, and explore the outdoors with the dancers. Find it at The Bowling Green from 3.30pm both days.

Dance film Matrescence, by Scrimshaw Projects, will be screened on Wednesday 31 August. The title comes from a name given to the process of becoming a mother, and the film was made at a time when many new mothers were isolated as a result of Covid-19 restrictions. Matrescence documents one group of local mothers and babies who met regularly to sing together through the informal group Thula Mama. It will be screened outdoors in the same place it was filmed – East Pollokshields Quad. Times will be announced later this month.
