Wendy Houstoun - Happy Hour

Where
Beck's Bar @ Meat Market, Arts House, Nrth Melb
When
5pm Sunday 19 October

A foaming pint of movement and text reveal the state of bitter England, all from the mouth of a barmaid on a bender. As the night wears on and the drink takes hold, bar stool philosophy turns to bar floor desperation. Both disturbing and funny, Happy Hour is a piece about drinking and what happens in a bar.

Wendy Houstoun is a movement/theatre artist who is committed to finding new forms to address her themes. Over the years, her work has developed a distinctive style that combines movement with text and meaning with humour.

Since 1980 Houstoun has worked extensively as a solo performer and in collaboration with companies and artists whose work challenges, enriches and extends the boundaries of dance and theatre. Happy Hour was initially performed in London. It was then developed with Tim Etchells and has since toured to bars throughout the western world.
