Brighton based Victoria Melody, an award winning British performance artist, will be performing her latest show Ugly Chief at Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts on Tuesday 20 June 2017. 

The company are seeking brass musicians from the local community who would like to perform in the show’s grand finale alongside the performers on stage in a New Orleans jazz procession!  This presents a unique and exciting opportunity to showcase your talent and perform in a world class touring production starring ITV’s Mike Melody celebrity antique dealer from Dickinson’s Real Deal.

Using Victoria’s training as a funeral director and a huge amount of research Ugly Chief looks at the British Funeral Industry and how we deal with death in modern society. Ugly Chief is a comedy based on true events performed by a real-life father and daughter. It explores the taboos around death and its practicalities, and the fractious relationship with a parent whose opinions you don’t always agree with.

If your group is interested in taking part collectively or as individuals we warmly invite them to attend the workshop below to rehearse the music which will then be played in the show: 

6.00 – 7.00pm   Tues 20 June in the Workshop Studio, Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts, Brighton

A light buffet will be provide and participants will be fully briefed in order to take part in the finale of Ugly Chief at Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts.
