2/ ACCIDENTAL FESTIVAL
An exciting and innovative arts festival driven by the desire to provide upcoming artists with a platform to show work alongside more established artists.
The Accidental Festival is a flagship event under the Cultural Camden initiative, a cross–sector collaboration between Central School of Speech and Drama, the Roundhouse and the Hampstead Theatre.
There has never been a more important time for creative thinking in the cultural sector, and these three organisations have come together to enable the development of innovative practice across the sector through the Accidental Festival, taking place at The Roundhouse May 19th – 22nd.
As part of Accidental Festival Forced Entertainment present Quizoola! on May 21st. “What is the capital city of Spain? Why are people afraid to die? What is a tree? Was John Wayne really brave? Are you a natural blonde?” Three actors smeared in clown make–up ask each other a selection of 2000 questions – some banal, some ridiculous, some probing – in a performance which is one moment pub quiz and the next interrogation.
Quizoola! is a dark, hilarious and absurd performance from international innovators Forced Entertainment.

We initiate unique, practice-based professional development programmes that respond to the specialist needs of artists to enable them to engage critically and contribute to society. We also nurture practitioners to be entrepreneurial by guiding them through the development of artist-led initiatives that provide them with fundamental and sustainable skills and generate activities that complement institutional cultures.
New Work Network also strives to advance social and cultural confidence in practitioners by motivating new routes for audiences, existing and new stakeholders, to access, experience, participate and invest in the often invisible, but absolutely essential processes, that sustain artists to ‘make work’.
