YO UNDERGROUND

York collective Navigators Art return to The Basement at City Screen Picturehouse, York on Saturday 15th March with the first in a new series of performance events featuring original spoken word, music and comedy with a more experimental edge than usual.

It will be a platform for local and regional performers whose work may wander off the beaten track but definitely deserves an audience. New and emerging artists will have equal billing with more established names.

The show will feature Geordie comedian and poet Cooper Robson, performance artist and writer Carrieanne Vivianette, inspiring young poet Oliver Lewis, champion beatboxer Cast, genre-crossing musical duo Gorgo, and internationally renowned singer Loré Lixenberg.

The second in the series is planned for Sunday 27th April and will showcase Wire Worms, a 5-piece band whose folk-rooted but boundary-stretching debut album has been much acclaimed.

Navigators Art would like to hear from performers in any medium who might suit future events. Email [email protected] or follow @navigatorsart on Facebook and Instagram.
