MAMUSKA NIGHTS - Newsletter June 2007

Welcome to the first Mamuska Nights newsletter!

We are happy to announce the birth of Mamuska Nights as an independent organisation providing a focal point of reference for artistic development and experimentation within structured social contexts that challenge established notions of performance and theatrical space.
Mamuska Nights’ mission is rooted on a genuine sympathy for artists and audience alike, bringing the two in close proximity, eradicating clichéd representational rituals and proposing the notion of events as an inclusive social dance capable of opening creative possibilities.

Mamuska Nights' vision is consolidated through a network of events built on informality and an active commitment towards cultural and artistic exchange, creating a rare continuum between local, national and international contexts.
