Follow the Herring - Hull
The visual arts dimension to this project had a successful launch last week with well attended events in Princes Quay and Artlink. We're interested to hear from knitters and stitchers who'd like to be involved in Hull. Knitted herrings are already being produced by Hull knitters, but there will also be opportunities to produce other textile and craft based work for exhibition in June.
City Arts are co-producing this collaborative theatre and visual arts project, on the Hull leg of its east coast tour. The touring co-production between The Customs House Arts Centre and Guild of Lillian's Theatre Company (supported by Arts Council England's strategic touring fund) aims to engage coastal communities on the East coast in the arts through singing, performing and knitting - on a fishy theme around Herring Girls.
Hull participants have an opportunity to join in singing, knitting, crafting, and story telling activity. The project culminates in a production of 'Get Up And Tie Your Fingers' at Hull Truck Theatre, and exhibitions at Artlink and in the City Centre with the exciting life sized knitted boat which will sail into an exhibition at Holy Trinity Church in June.
Further information giving details about local workshop opportunities, and ways for groups and individuals to get involved will be released soon via the Artlink website.
If you would like to Follow the Herring in Hull, please contact cityartsenquiries@hullcc.gov.uk to register your interest.
Visit the Hull City Council website to find out further information about the project and its background, and to download a pattern to knit your own Herring.

Six stories, six playwrights, one experiment. Six is a collaboration bringing together some of Hull’s brightest talent, each with their own story to tell. Despite their differing styles and situations, common characters and themes bring the piece together as one, and just as the action flits from location to location, the audience will be similarly kept on their feet as they wander between TV studios, bedrooms, pubs and more.
From a couple fantasizing about a potential relationship, the audience move to a struggling actor wasting his time in The Bill. After two mysterious men talking about secrets, intimidation and murder we see a social recluse holed up in his bedroom due to a crippling fear of the number 27. And once Emma and John have shown us their relationship losing its spark, local band The Pennies get to grips with re-finding theirs.
Mixing elements of comedy, tragedy, mystery and physical theatre, Six is an experimental piece of drama designed to entertain and show off the best of Hull’s culture prior to 2017, and is curated by Penny Duck Theatre Company in association with Ensemble 52 and 2020 Theatre.
Please note this performance will require the majority of the audience to stay on their feet and move around the venue.

Hull Screen - The Invisible Woman
Friday 28 February - Thursday 6 March
Cert. 12A
Dir: Ralph Fiennes.
Nelly (Felicity Jones), a happily-married mother and schoolteacher, is haunted by her past. Her memories, provoked by remorse and guilt, take us back in time to follow the story of her relationship with Charles Dickens (Ralph Fiennes) with whom she discovered an exciting but fragile complicity. Dickens - famous, controlling and emotionally isolated within his success - falls for Nelly, who comes from a family of actors. The theatre is a vital arena for Dickens - a brilliant amateur actor - a man more emotionally coherent on the page or on stage, than in life. As Nelly becomes the focus of Dickens' passion and his muse, for both of them secrecy is the price, and for Nelly a life of "invisibility".
