Lichfield FUSE Festival 2012
Last weekend saw Coruscate at Lichfield FUSE Festival. The festival after a few last minute arrangements due to the weather, got off to a fantastic start, featuring local musicians, dance troupes, arts organisations and much more.
Kathryn Newcombe, one of the festival's volunteer organisers booked us to host a drop in puppet-making workshop for children in the Performance tent. Armed with paper bags, glitter, sequins, tissue paper and a whole host of other goodies, we offered young people the chance to make either a very simple Gingerbread Man stick puppet (for the under 5s) or a moving mouth glove puppet. Lions, monsters, elephants and monkeys were very popular and the feedback from parents was that our puppets were a great entertainment that kept their children occupied and allowed them to be creative.
It was wonderful to see siblings and friends creating impromptu puppet shows at our table and in future we will have a 'performance' table with bits of set, props etc so that people can play with their creations when they have finished.
After a successful Sunday afternoon, we settled down for a swift pint and watched the Phoenix Big Band from Blackheath before heading home.
This was our first time at FUSE and we look forward to returning next year as we have been asked to do a performance slot on the main stage and repeat our popular drop-in activity.
Many thanks to Lichfield Arts for organising such a vibrant (not to mention FREE!), community arts festival for the public.

Busy, busy, busy!
Coruscate Theatre have been extremely busy recently - hence the lack of posting! - including running stalls, participating in festivals, delivering workshops, collaborating with the Nottingham Arts Theatre and directing performances. Coming up this summer, we will be running two weeks at the Nottingham Arts Theatre for young people and running a summer school week at the Old Library Theatre, Mansfield.
We have also been invited to perform at the London Olympics 2012! Details have still not yet been confirmed, but we will post when they have and let you know dates, times, etc. We are very excited about this opportunity, and would like to thank somewhereto_ for making it happen.
As we leap into a new academic year, Coruscate Theatre will be updating their website, improving their profile in London and the East Midlands and establishing new and exciting collaborative projects.
We will also be launching our quarterly e-newsletter, so get yourself subscribed on our website: http://www.coruscatetheatre.co.uk/News.htm
Keep watching for more news!
