Immersive Art Club Theatre

Creative broth, kazoos, and hippopotamuses for Christmas. We had a good laugh on today's ArtyParti...

Meet "the naughty rebels of theatre", fusing together live music, pub quizzes, film installations, club nights, comedy, and glitter to create accessible theatrical experiences.

With an ethos of collaboration and experimentation at the heart of their ethos, The Six Twenty aim to break down barriers to entry which could deter people from getting involved in theatre.

Today, we discussed the upcoming new venture - a new series of subverted "club night" immersive art performances, at Alphabetti Theatre in Newcastle - which you can check out tonight and tomorrow.

Also, with six years worth of "Mixtape" under their belt, we looked ahead at their upcoming Xmas Mixtape, at Live Theatre in Newcastle later this month.

The four members of Club Six Twenty in the studio:

• Melanie Rashbrooke - Artistic Director
• Steven Blackshaw - Project Coordinator & Performer
• Saffron Mee - "Associate Artist"
• James Barton - "Associate Artist"
