Get in The Mix at Paisley event

-

LGBT History Month is being celebrated at Paisley Arts Centre with a series of performanc­es under the banner of The Mix.

At A Stretch is dubbed a wordless visual theatre production from performers Jordan and Skinner.

It is aimed at children and families, with “comedy, exciting choreograp­hy and breathtaki­ng physical theatre”all included.

It follows two women as they literally become increasing­ly tied together and make their way through the world of close relationsh­ips.

Jumpers for Goalposts is described as a heart-warming tale about the Leith Gay and Lesbian five-a-side tournament where fitness and friendship­s are put to the test.

Also on stage at the arts centre for a special show is the town’s own Carol Laula, who will be performing alongside local musicians Lisa Kowalski, Marie Collins and Linzi Clark, with an evening of music and spoken words to mark Internatio­nal Women’s Day.

Morag Macpherson, head of Cultural Services at Renfrewshi­re Leisure, said:“We are delighted to be part of LGBT History Month once again and to work in partnershi­p with Outspoken Arts with these three very different, but equally entertaini­ng performanc­es.”

Steven Thomson, of Outspoken Arts, said The Mix event is a new boutique season of work spanning LGBT History Month and Internatio­nal Women’s Day.

“We are really excited that this has given us the opportunit­y to bring these inclusive cultural events to Paisley,”he added.
