We made it!
An update for Beyond the Stage Photography Exhibition
Sep 1 2016
Hi all
As you will know by now the campaign was a success and the target was reached thanks to you all. Your pledges were all very much appreciated.
It is now full steam ahead for the exhibition and of course I very much hope to see you all there - even those who pledged from France, Australia and California :-)
The options for coming to the exhibition are as follows....
For all of you involved in any of the productions I photographed there is the special 'theatre people' viewing evening on Friday 23rd September followed by a bit of a party. All 'non theatre' pledgers are, of course, very welcome to come to this.
Details are here
Alternatively if anyone wants to come to the Private Viewing on Thursday 22nd September please let me know. This will be a slightly more serious evening with booze, sorry fine wines, but no party after :-)
Finally the exhibition will be open between 10 and 5 from Friday 23rd until Monday 26th and again you will be most welcome to drop in anytime.
Many thanks once again and see you at the exhibition!

2 days to go!!
An update for Beyond the Stage Photography Exhibition
Aug 29 2016
Another quick update. There is now only 2 days until the campaign closes and it is just £175 short of the target. So another big thank you to all of you for pledging.
As it is an all or nothing campaign and the exhibition only gets the money if the target is reached we just need a few more pledges to get over the line.
So if you know anyone who may be thinking of pledging feel free to give them a gentle nudge! And you can always share the link on your timelines as well.

Beyond the Stage crowdfunding update
An update for Beyond the Stage Photography Exhibition
Aug 20 2016
Hi all
Just a quick update and another big thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. So far I'm really pleased with progress - 11 days to go and nearly two thirds the way there so confident we can make it.
Now that you've pledged, if you have a moment feel free to share the link on your own social media. I estimate that approx 11 more backers are needed so any publicity you can give would be a real help.
I will keep you updated
Many thanks
Ken

To the amazing 68 of you
An update for Bearpit Social - The Next Phase
Aug 15 2016
By now you would have all received an email saying our campaign has failed.
Thank you to those who have emailed us and tweeted us but really, I should be thanking for giving us hope and having faith in what we are trying to achieve.
Fear not, we will find a way to do what we need to. We always have.
It was an interesting expierence, and we did manage to raise just a little over £8,000, but we knew we started this we didn't want to settle for anything less than our target as it just wouldn't work doing half the work we needed to do.
We have closed the shop for a couple of weeks. This will give us some time to just take a big breath of air and think about what the next steps for Bearpit Social.
We will be back, and we will be back stronger.
Please come and join us for the Bearpit Banquet anyways! Here is a link: http://bristolbiennial.org/filter/play-your-part/Bearpit-Banquet-Festival-Launch-Party Events like this are the building bricks to truly creating a safe, welcoming, diverse and inclusive Bearpit and we are ecstatic about it!
For those of you who booked for the feasts, we are MORE than happy to do this so you can contact me directly at bearpitsocial@gmail.com
For those of you who wanted the KeepCups, we are still aiming to get these so just keep an eye out on social media or when you pop by the shop.
Forever grateful,
Team Bearpit xxx
