About this event
Pre-Recorded sessions of STILL ALIVE and KICKING, recorded during Fringe on
the 28th of February 2021, are available to watch for up 48 hours from the
start time you select.
We made it through to now, alive, which is certainly something to celebrate! Life, as Gill's come to know it, is a wondrous, fragile, unpredictable plethora; a culmination of hours, days, months and years where, if we are fortunate, we get to bask in the wisdom from our vast experiences. In facing death she has a new appreciation for what it means to have a life, to see potential in challenging times, to see beauty when the outlook may seem bleak. 'Still Alive' is her response to finding a way through the hardships, to standing tall when you literally don't have a leg to stand on! An hour of combined oratory, music and art to create a show that will take you through all the emotions - laugh ( hysterically ) cry ( because you can ) and even sing along to the array of timeless jazz standards.
