A FEW NICE WORDS ABOUT SEACHANGE ARTS

"...this rather new festival (Out There) has become a must see street arts event in Europe.  The quality of the programme, the risks taken by its Artistic Director Joe Mackintosh, makes it a powerful artistic experience, mixing work with the community and openness."

Daniel Andrieu // Viva Cité in Sotteville-les-Rouen

On Out There 2010: "The diversity of the acts was impressive and the work I saw was of a high artistic quality.  I particularly enjoyed the smaller installations which I thought were inventive and interesting.  The explosive Saturday night finale of Bivouac was incredible and created a real buzz in the town.  I thought that it worked very well in the context of Great Yarmouth, both in terms of the audience and the streetscape and facades along its route."

Miriam Manley // Arts Council England East

"I think your approach seems to me the right one.  You are concerned about the audience of your festival, who they are, what they expect, you question them... and you place them at the heart of your festival."

Valérie Gooch // Le Fourneau, Le Centre National des arts de la Rue, Brest

On Out There 2010: "Bivouac was absolutely fantatsic and one of the best outdoor shows I have seen.  Many of the audience were happily, jaw-droppingly stunned.  It is a testament to the development of Out There that a show of that scale was possible and was produced and delivered so professionally."

Matt Burman // Norfolk & Norwich Festival

"I travel from festival to festival.  SeaChange Arts have it down.  It is a pleasure to do shows for SeaChange.  The feeling of being really appreciated and totally looked after 100% makes you give even more in the shows and behind the scenes.  A lot of festivals wouldn't understand that."

Shay Horay // Performer

On Out There 2011 "Once again we shall make the pilgrimage to immerse ourselves in this celebration of all that is best in street performance and art."
