Here We Are
HERE WE ARE - As a conversationalist, theatre maker and performer, I have collected A LOT of stories over the past 17 years of talking with people about their lives as part of my arts practice. After performing highly rehearsed shows using only a select few of these stories for the past 17 years, each show has been more elaborate than the one before. I now want to embrace simplicity in form, a low carbon footprint in all areas of design, as well as a focus on the here and now, by creating improvised story performances. No rehearsals, no story set list, no set design, just me, the craft I have so finely tuned, my stories from the wonderful story life I have lived and sought out, and the relationship I build with the audience over the course of a show. Directed by Tim Overton.
Bring a sense of fun and lightness and safety with you - you are in good hands.
