New Year and News


Dear one and all,

Happy New Year!!


I am looking forward to going to York where I havn't been for ages! I will be performing a freshly devised version of Private Joke at York St John University on Thurs 17th February as part of a Double Bill with live artist Emma Bennet. For more info see: www.yorksj.ac.uk/arts/faculty-of-arts/events/theatre-events

Private Joke is a solo, intimate, vocal piece that jokes and despairs about falling (over, down, in, out, to, behind, again). At the core of the joke is the recalling (cringing) of an incident. An accidental and unfortunately public incident when I fell over outside marks and spencers.

A monologue that manipulates the vocal similarity between the words fall, fail and fool. Exploring meanings of language and poetic notions, the audience is presented weaved trajectories of physical and metaphorical falls. These are delivered in the manner of subtle slapstick and pursued in a performance that presents its own flaws, jokes and stumbles.

Previously performed at Fringe Arts Bath, Unit 5 Norwich, Dartington College of Arts and Elevator Gallery Hackney.
