JT_BRIGHTON 3 1x1.mp4
A show where Josh Thomas tidies up.
Tidying up is not normally the stuff of gripping drama, it wouldn’t be a propulsive narrative for most people but for Josh, it’s Everest, a fundamentally impossible task, like trying to defy the moon and control the tides. Josh’s brain has managed to make him the creator and star of hit TV shows (Please Like Me, Everything’s Gonna Be Okay), in this show he tries to work out how to do the small stuff.
Written with award-winning playwright Lally Katz, don't miss Josh Thomas live at TOM this Saturday 20 July! - https://buff.ly/4d34rmM
Coming Home - The Old Market
Did you know that this place has magic in its bones...
The kind of magic where communities can thrive...
We believe in the power of the arts to connect us, at a time when we need connection more than ever.
We are your venue, and our doors are open to you as a space to dream, to play, to be heard, to create, to explore, and of course, to be entertained.
In life, we stand on the shoulders of giants. We know that it's the people who make this place what it is. We are proud of, and forever indebted to, the many faces of TOM.
With that in mind, we're excited to present 'Coming Home' - a new poem written by the amazing, wonderful and awesome Jenny Foulds - Performance Poet, filmed and edited by Luke Cresswell, and read by some of the amazing people who represent what TOM is all about - our artists, team, champions and friends.

Marcel The Shell With Shoes On Official Trailer HD A24.mp4
Next month we welcome the adorable Marcel the Shell as part of #TOMsFilmClub

Marcel (Jenny Slate), an adorable one-inch-tall shell, already lives there with his grandmother Connie (Isabella Rossellini) and their pet lint, Alan. Once part of a sprawling community of shells, Marcel and Connie live alone as the sole survivors of a mysterious tragedy.

How can we push the boundaries of live performance, and make our events more immersive? 💡
To answer this question, we created a new immersive experience using 360 visuals and spatial sound, and over four days we presented events including:
HALINA RICE: NEW WORLDS IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE - Electronic music producer Halina Rice presented her unique vision to this new experience, translating elements of her show in a way that had never been seen before, and ran a masterclass showing how to create an event like this 🙌
LIGHTFORM LAB - As part of our HERA Partnership social prescribing project to help develop artists making work focussed on wellbeing, our Lab participants came together to test out ideas for immersive sensory environments ✨
FEVER CLUB: SALON OF SOUL - Boogie through wonderland. Infectious beats and mind-bending visuals in a party that was 'curious and curiouser' 🕺
These events took place as part of our #TOMtech programme, bridging the gap between traditional performance and new technology. More events like these will be coming in future - watch this space...
With thanks to Arts Council England, Fujifilm Global, L-Acoustics, DeltaLive, Lighthouse, Hera Partnership #HERAForYou, Halina Rice, Fever Club, Thomas Buckley and Dan Barnes
