"Space is the Place" ― Sun Ra

*

The Greenbridge Space -sometimes referred to as "Analog Countercultural", "Luddite's Revenge" or simply "The Space"- is a DIY performance & hosting space located @ Filippou 5 in Trikala (central Greece).

Our intention is to support new artists, committed amateurs, anyone who wants to perform in front of an audience and has not had the opportunity to do so.

Specs

- The main stage area is approximately 40m² [Length * Width * Height = 12 * 3.5 * 2.7].

- There is no physical stage; the area covered by the yellow carpet in the picture functions as a stage. This area is directly under a 2.5m² rectangular opening connecting the ground floor and the first floor.



- We have a portable PA system with an embedded 4-channel mixer, a pair of dynamic microphones, a HP G-70 laptop running Lubuntu with Logitech Z-5 speakers, and a cassette radio player. We also have a 50-year old Hoffman piano, a trombone, a trumpet, a harmonica, an old-school music keyboard, a duduk, an acoustic guitar, a darbuka and a melodica, all of which you can use.

- We have a pair of PAR lights above the main stage, with several colour filters to choose from, as well as LED lights behind all walls of the Space and the ceiling. There's also an Andowl Q-A17 mini projector at your disposal.

- The audience is seated at the stairs, the sofas, and several stools which are scattered throughout the ground floor space. There is an additional 20m² area for the audience upstairs, which has clear visibility of the performance space.



- The total capacity of the Greenbridge Space is 50 people.

- The Space is free to use. All performances @ Greenbridge are held on a donation basis, and all contributions from the audience are given to the performer(s) as a minimum token of appreciation for their effort.

- All out of town performers are very welcome to stay over @ Greenbridge. We can comfortably host up to four visitors in the bedroom area, the upstairs lounge and our comfy sofas downstairs. There is also a kitchenette at the guests' disposal, a bathroom with shower and hot water, and a 24 Mbps ADSL Internet connection. We have bedding, blankets & towels.

- vagabond musicians, theatrical troupes, performance artists, poets, illusionists, clowns, stand up comedians, mimes, puppeteers, ventriloquists, magicians, spoken word artists, dancers, preachers or other associated lifeforms.
