You will be required to make a donation at the end of your We Were Never Here appointment. Donations are also welcome for Take me, I’m yours you will be charged your standard text messaging rate to take part.

We Were Never Here

We’re here. We’re in our birth certificate; in the money we spend; in our council tax demands; in our degree certificates; our deeds; our wills; our bills; our lists; postcards; petrol receipts; toilet roll; cinema tickets…

We are all well thumbed, dog-eared, paper people.

Find yourself as a perversion of paper and we explore and inhabit this humble material.

Take me, I'm yours

Thank you for taking time out of your day to engage with art and performance. We appreciate your support. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, no performers could be supplied for this evening. The performer in this piece is you.  Bring your phone to activate this performance.

To experience Take Me, I’m yours simply join Lancaster Arts Partners at the Storey from 19:30 and text the number displayed in the NICE bar from your mobile phone. Share your experiences on twitter via #takemeimyours & #MyFirstFriday
