Influences
ART! All types, but a typical emporium consists of a kicking band top and tailing, plus artists, poets, film-makers, dancers, sculpturers, photographers, and more.
"The show Channel 4 have been searching for to reinvigorate their Friday night ratings."
"Audiences stepping into the once-monthly show can expect a Narnia-type experience of walking into what looks like an ordinary building that is the Mission Theatre, only to find their holiday from the humdrum begins and they are in a whole new world of entertainment - where they will be challenged, amused and entertained." Bath Chronicle
Emporium is a music and multi-media arts show that has been running monthly in Bath since January 2005. The show usually lasts about 2 - 2.5hrs, typically with two musical acts, comedy, art slide-shows, short films, theatre pieces, dance, poetry and always something unexpected. It is a rollercoaster ride with a unique, hospitable and fun atmosphere. Every month sees a completely different line-up and the hosts Jim Spudowski (world renowned shape artist) and Christoph Piscine (jazz legend) always have a tale to tell on film about their latest artistic creations.
"Well polished, eclectic and buzzing with positivity - Emporium is offering a "smorgasbord of art" for audiences from all walks of life." Bath Chronicle
"Excellent eclectic enjoyment....presents many different art forms such as poets, storytellers, comedians and bands for a wonderful audience and I am not exaggerating when I say it was one of the best nights weve had on the tour. the organisers and everyone involved are brilliant and I strongly recommend people to go." The band - Halagoogoo 's website halagoogoo.com/news.
"San Franciscan cool here in Bath.....amazing" Overheard in a restaurant.
"I never really believed all that stuff about comedy or poetry being the new rock n roll but the way Emporium mixed em up together like this made for a top way to end the Bath Fringe." Bath Chronicle, review of Emporium at The Porter Cellar Bar, June 06.
