Sketch House @
Inland 2014
The Sketch House voyaged Inland for an incredible night of music, art, dance and poetry - it's delicious trademark staples. As part of Redruth's Inland Art Fest 2014, the shell of a decrepit branch of Boots came to life as The Sketch House manifest! Visitors exploring the labyrinthine corridors and quirky storage rooms were treated to all manner of delights while on the shop floor, MC Will Salter played landlord to the very best in local talent. Our guests stared intently at a rotten mattress, they were shouted at in gobbledygook, they predicted the weather with a ball of seaweed, they cycled through sleep, they came face to face with a living, breathing and talking structure, they lost their virginities, got a new career path and stomped their feet the whole night through!
FEATURING: SLEEP CYCLES . ETHERIDGE AND PERSIGHETTI . MAC DUNLOP . JULIAN GASKELL . CHRISTINA ROMERO-CROSS . DOM ALLEN + ALEX GOODMAN
