White Night…one extra hour, don’t waste it

Somebody is playing tricks with time. Tonight you have been given one extra hour. Your night, your year and your life have all been granted a sixty-minute extension. So what are you going to do with it?

Remember you are only granted an extra 60 minutes, if you hang around Brighton enjoying yourself for too long you go all pumkniny. Here are The Hussy’s pick of the night.

1. Penny Arcade  –  Fishing Museum

Living arcade machines. Small groups of people (up to six) will be shunted in to the teeny-weeny venue themed around an ancient out-of-season arcade. Inside they will find the archana and signage of old seaside amusements, wonky experimental fairground music, and three human size fortune-telling penny arcade machines.

In each machine will be a performer re-enacting a classic amusement: The Laughing Fortune-Telling Musical Clowns; The Graveyard Scene; and the Gypsy Palm-Reading Machine. The White Night Penny Arcade will create an out-of time space filled with awe and wonder.

 

2. The Fortune Factory – Phoenix Gallery

A heady mix of experimental performances, artworks and music in this cutting edge happening. Featuring the Istitute of Unnecessary Research, Beatabet Colllective, the Spirit of Gravity, and many more.

 

3. Drawing Cards From The Deck – Komedia

Get naked and draw. The event will give people the opportunity to draw from a unique range of costumed and nude poses in the context of a theatrical life class. Tuition will be provided by Jake Spicer of the Brighton Life Drawing Sessions After 9pm every half hour the doors will be opened to allow participants to come down to the studio bar where there will be given a drawing board, paper and drawing materials and shown to a space in which to draw.

 

4. A Surprise – Jubilee Square

It really, really is a surpries. I have no idea what it is. But I have been promied that it will be very good. Or even excellent. And you can ask it questions???

 

Go out, have fun, don’t stay for longer than one hour and expect to queue for anything free. The area around Jubilee Library is always a good place to hang as you do something unusual in the middle of the night.

   I love this night! It is my favorite night of the year. Whether I decide to drink a little more, or I have to work, or I want to spend more time with my wife, it does not matter because I get an extra hour to sleep it off!!!
