Come to The Centre for Sleep and Dream Studies
One night only, February, 23rd at 9.30pm
The 32nd Rhubarb Festival presents The Centre for Sleep and Dream Studies (bluemouth inc./a.rawlings), an immersive electroacoustic somniloquixotic environment and performance.
At The Centre for Sleep and Dream Studies, patients unwind with a night-cap, immersed in the live oneiric soundscapes of Richard Windeyer. The Centre provides poetic self-prognosis of parasomnias in a safe, groovy experiment. Audience members can register... for the Questionnaire Diagnostique at The Centre, shifting between one-on-one interaction with Centre staff members Ciara Adams and a.rawlings or relaxing in the Centre’s grand Salle de Rêve.
The Centre for Sleep and Dream Studies opens its doors at 9:30pm. You are welcome to join or depart at any time!
Wednesday's festival starts at 8pm sharp, and tickets are $20 per person. Come early to pick and choose between the following half-hour shows, running from 8pm to 9:30pm, before joining us in the Salle de Rêve

~ Cultural Olympiad: Everyone Boogies in Dance Marathon. Culture Seen - The Vancouver Sun. Full review click here
I hope this finds you well! I am in Vancouver in the final rehearsals for our show Dance Marathon, that I am performing in as part of the Cultural Olympiad. I am one of five artistic director's of bluemouth inc. and we have come here to do the show. We had great success with this show which premiered at Harbourfront's World Stage series last February, and was a Fresh Grounds commission. We also had great success last Summer with this show at the Cork MidSummer Festival, when William Gallinsky programmed us. The collective plans to travel to Edinburgh Scotland this Summer to be part of Traverse Theatre's season at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
