READ FREE MAGAZINE ABOUT PERFORMANCE
BELLYFLOP Magazine is a free magazine that will be distributed in London's performing art communities (we are broke, but trying to scrape together the gold to print the thing. Let's call it a work in progress), although it is not exclusively made for artists, but anyone interested in a little insight into the scene. BELLYFLOP consists of interesting anecdotes, pictures, experiences and whatever else that can help to inspire or excite the many performance hungry people out there.
You can get a little taste of the magazine below.
