Performances

My Struggle

Performed by Cats Kill Curiosity

The body bears a thousand secrets: our physical reckoning.

My Struggle is a movement and sound based ensemble performance exploring the seven deadly sins as embodied, internalised states. We will introduce you to the strange fragments of truth behind our masks and lead you to enjoy our ridicule and communal journey. 

Audiences are invited into a visceral, non verbal encounter where sin is felt rather than spoken.

Council House Chronicles

A first-class performance from the second-class. 

Council House Chronicles is an autobiographical one-woman performance exploring the merit of meritocracy. 

As we experience the trials and tribulations of attempting to balance fostering a stable acting career with staving off homelessness, we are left to wonder: Can one separate themselves from class and climb the hierarchical ladder even when circumstances have left them without any rungs ... and the ladder is made of spaghetti?

The Dawn of Gaia – A rehearsed reading

If we turn away, how does anything change?

Gods. Goddesses. Mother Nature herself. An interrogation. A justification. A choice. Gaia goddess of the earth, of life and light. We meet her on a journey through creation, the early days of the universe and all that came before. Through to earths beauty; its steadfast survival throughout millennia. Then to the birth of mankind, and its aimless destruction of the earth she so lovingly created. When faced with so much pain and suffering, she makes a choice. A chance to change fate.
