Saddle up for a spectacular production
Cowboys, coyotes and cattle rustlers will be descending on Johnstone Town Hall for the world premiere of a dance performance.
Common Is As Common Does - A Memoir is being staged at Johnstone Town Hall on Friday, March 31 and Saturday, April 1.
The show – created by award-winning dance collaborative 21Common – deals with the relationship between poverty and violence and is set in the land of cowboys, coyotes and cattle rustlers.
It’s been described as a“deep and dirty dive into a family circle that more often resembles a ring of fire.”
Performers include Gavin Mitchell, whose previous roles include Boaby the Barman in Still Game, alongside Minnie Crook, Dan Brown and Neshla Caplan.
The show is a co-commission with OneRen, funded by Creative Scotland and Future Paisley/Renfrewshire Council – a cultural regeneration, partnership programme, which uses the power of arts, heritage and culture to impact social and economic change.
The production company 21Common is led by artistic directors, Lucy Gaizely and Gary Gardiner, and Scotland’s leading learning-disabled dancer Ian Johnston and executive producer, Louise Irwin.
Louise Martin, arts producer at OneRen, said:“This world premiere shows how artists are choosing to develop, produce and perform their shows in Renfrewshire before sharing them with the world.
“It’s the first time 21Common have performed in Renfrewshire and the audience will certainly enjoy being part of the show, as this is an accessible and immersive performance. It promises to be a brilliant night out.”
