🔥SARAH KENT🔥 Performing at MTG10 on 23/11/25 at @thecav ✨#MTG10✨ Mind The Gap is an ongoing series of events, bringing together improvised performances in different mediums. An individual constellation of acts, curators and audiences each event has a different feel, always full of curiosity, creativity and surprises. MTG is an independent event founded on the ethos of artists supporting other artists and entirely funded by ticket sales. We see small scale performance evenings as vital to artists, audiences and the scene as whole. Beyond just a show, it is a low pressure chance to gather for the sharing of practices, conversations and ideas.  👀♥️WE HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE NEXT ON 27th FEB 2026 ♥️👀 📸: @juliatestas
