Penzance will host an exclusive live showcase of the award-winning artist group, Joy Collective, for one night only this November.
The Acorn Arts Centre will be the only Cornish venue to present this unique show, before it embarks on a national and international tour.
Joy Collective is a new British live cross-art form production led by Exeter based music artist duo 'Drunk With Joy', whose work has received critical acclaim in fourteen countries over four continents to date.
The music making couple, Mila Oshin and Kris Jager, have drawn in a number of local artists from a variety of disciplines since their relocation from London to Devon after reaching a mutual
agreement that life was better away from the distractions of the
metropolis in 2005.

The pilot version of the first Joy Collective showcase was a sell-out success for them when it was premiered at Exeter Phoenix last November, receiving unanimously positive reviews from the media, arts professionals and audience members.
Hoping to give the South West's emerging talent a chance to join this platform, Joy Collective currently comprises five choreographers and dance artists, three digital media artists and filmmakers and seven visual artists from all over the region.
Having now received funding and support from the Arts Council of England, this new show promises to be even more impressive. It's split across 13 parts and includes sculpture, animation, dance, photography, film, painting, drawing, new media, printmaking, all wrapped up in a stunning live sound track by founding duo, Drunk With Joy.
