Hatch: One Tuesday 5 May 2009 8pm until late FREE The Ropewalk, Derby Road, Nottingham

One year ago, Nottingham’s newest performance-y platform started moving around the city to create a peripatetic space for people to experience high-octane performance-y antics.

So far we’ve Hatched three times to over 400 people and supported 40 emerging artists to break from their creative shell. So we thought it was time to celebrate.

Hatch: One responds to the theme of One to help us celebrate being One. 15 artists take over our biggest venue yet with work that deals with one-ness, lasts one minute or is experienced by one person at a time. One night only. One of a kind. One to remember. Hatch: One.

Hatch is a regional platform for new work from the East Midlands set to transform the live arts landscape. http://www.hatchnottingham.co.uk
