Hush City - What do you do when you do you?

More giggling in the New Year!

"Hush City" is a new event and social space concept running in the month of January on Wednesdays from 9am til 9pm in the two panelled lounges of the iconic Arts Mansion, in Ashton Court.

I invite you to move in for a whole day, focus & relax, work on your project, make connections that don’t require small talk.

During "Hush periods" (45 minutes every hour):
- we keep the quiet
- disconnect from the web (devices on airplane mode & headphones are allowed).

Please arrive during the break - quarter to the hour between 8:45am and 7:45pm. If you arrive earlier, there is a heated waiting room where you can stay until the next Hush period starts.

You will find that despite these restrictions, "Hush City" allows a greater sense of freedom to express your authentic self as you move through the day, whether you want to stretch, read, knit, zone-out, draw, compose, breath or even have a nap, than other social spaces such as coffee shops, pubs and libraries we are all familiar with.

⏳️ January 8th, 15th and 22nd, 9am til 9pm.
Cost: £5 for 2 hours, £10 for 5 hours, £16 for 12 hours.
Ages 16+.

I am a trained mime artist and Zen Buddhist practitioner. Drawing on my global experience from leading slow cycling bike rides in Bristol to extensive training in a Japanese monastery, I developed "Hush City" to create alternative, non-verbal ways of socialising. Neuro-divergent adults and people on the healing path may find the space particularly beneficial.

"What do you do when you do you?" - answers are only accepted in real-time acting out.
