Some reviews are in from the show - with hopefully a couple more to come:
First a preview from John Mitchell in the Guardian Guide who talks about how we include aroma amongst our "sensual attractions" and refers to "a great roster of acts".
The most detailed review to emerge so far is from Stefan Kucharczyk in the Birmingham Post "With a disturbing, lurching assault on the senses, Project X is an intelligent and unique show destabilising the established role of the "spectator" in performance theatre and drawing you into an impressively eclectic and complex mix of art forms". full article including Gigbeth comment here.
The local blogging community have been at work too - Project X Participant Marc Reck reported in after the dress rehearsal and again just before the show and once more after the main event.
Rich Batsford also offered up a review of the dress rehearsal.
Robin Valk speaks of "Enormous, generous and involved musicianship that jumped boundaries effortlessly." in his commentary.
Joanna Geary comments that "the night summed up what Birmingham is capable of when it pulls its cultures and its talent together. It’s something we need to do much more of and it’s great to see people in the city trying to make it happen."
Dr Andy Pryke offers some brief comment and nice pics from the dress rehearsal of what he refers to as "multi-faceted box of delights".
Jon Bounds of the website "Birmingham Its Not Shit gives a brief thumbs up to "the effort put into Project X" in his round of favourite things from Gigbeth.
Pete Ashton picks up on Matt Murtagh's fine photographic work in our "quite marvelous 6 hour onmi-media performance marathon" and wisely suggests you view the images "as a slideshow with music from Einstellung’s MySpace playing."
Meanwhile on Pete's "Created in Birmingham" blog he points to Matt Murtaghs fine set of photos of the evening as a whole.
Pete also links to his own evocative photos taken using what he describes as his "through the viewfinder contraption".
We also have our own group up on flickr where you can see some of our own photos particularly of the build in production week and the after show party.
