A building on fire. Two sisters in limbo. Three generations at war.

Written by Kai Kenzie Pascal, fire/fight is an irreverent and incisive study of family (dys)function, working-class politics, grief, and the ultimate betrayal. Fiercely rhythmic and provocative, the play was staged with an incorporation of body percussion and spoken word physicality that asked the question: "What happens when someone / something gets left behind?"

 

 

Penumbra is a gamified theatrical horror experience that takes place both underground and online. It is formatted as a choose-your-own adventure, where the viewers' actions will influence the story as it is constructed before their very eyes. Filmed within a network of caves beneath Nottingham, the show discusses issues of gentrification, human connection, and our individual capacity to change the world we live in. By Chronic Insanity.

 

 

tapping on bone is an excavation of the stories we tell ourselves as we evolve — the realisation that growing up isn’t all it’s cut out to be. Reaching each milestone as we age has always seemed like something to celebrate. Why does it feel like we are moving in circles, still? Entirely devised with muscle memory, the anatomy of flight, and personal histories, the play dissects the rituals / dreams that bind us through a fusion of surrealist performance and explosive physicality.

 

 

An excavation of the soma as an acoustic artefact, the research project is an intercultural exploration of sound that dives deep into its intersections with cognitive neuroscience, metaphysics, cosmology, and the (un)conscious body in performance. Through tactile experimentations with data and musicology, homotopy is an intimate study of human modalities — all within a communal act of listening. Can you travel through time with an ear to your heart?

​

parthenogenesis: is as much a performance about absence as it is a plea for presence. This interdisciplinary (n)one-woman show calls upon raw testimony, found text, multimedia interactions, and spoken word poetry – the fusion unfolding in a space where everyone's in the dark. It aims to be a tangible representation of the asexual individual's experience of love and sex, in a world that has hardwired us to believe that we are unable to be whole without either.

 

 

This is a rumination on life after death - a conversation between a child and their estranged father - a loss and found. Time circles round in this explosive new multimedia production, written by interdisciplinary creative Milla Sutton. Conceptualised with the online experience in mind, the show is a deeply intimate reflection on trauma, stolen identity, and fragmentation within a multicultural family. When is forgiveness an impossibility?

 

 

Lisa obsesses over a sexual experience she's never had - and how it could have changed the course of her life. Spinster by writer Freya Jackson is a light-hearted, intimate take on growing up, insecurities, and societal expectations of love and sex - in the midst of locating yourself in timelines that could have been.

An interdisciplinary show influenced by The Bacchae, that interweaves Expressionist dance motifs, metatheatrics, Ancient Greek cheironomia, socio-political commentary, and haunting poetry. In association with Maenad Theatre Collective. 

Angel is a Bacchanalian tragedy of Ancient proportions, flung kicking and screaming into the modern day. It is a brutal and ecstatic take on the politics of rebellion and family, youth in revolt, and the fallacies of extreme ideology on either ends of the spectrum today.

​

a semi-devised documentary theatre performance set on the train tracks. 00:00 seeks to explore what goes on behind the scenes; those who clean up, sanitise, disinfect, and come into existence after the world has gone to sleep. It played to widespread critical acclaim at The Old Court Theatre in Windsor and The Packhorse in Egham, and is currently on tour in London.

​

#metoo #mewho? Chateau Marmont is a searing satire set within the blurred lines of sexual coercion, where some of the damage is collateral..and some isn’t.

Written by playwright Katerina Watson, the play is a wrangling of personal morals and an obfuscation of demarcating lines. Combining spoken word, soliloquy, and Ancient Greek mythology / tragedy, it’s ultimately an examination of the personal cost of a dream so powerful, that a $41.7 billion industry rests upon it. In association with Nouveau Riché. 

 

set in the backyards of Botswana, two Batswanan women discuss love, marriage and life. In association with Global Voices Theatre at the Arcola Theatre.

"[The play's title] is a loaded comment on the fact that many times womxn are represented through words but not in action. I wrote in a trans character because I realise that as trans people we are more often than not made these sexual beings without any dimension."

- Katlego Kolanyane-Kesupile, playwright

a theatre production that fuses performance with projected animation to share the true story of Edith Ainscow & Geoffrey Boothby during the First World War.

Over 18 months, a relationship blossoms through little more than written correspondence – beautifully caring and often funny, their letters are brought to life using an exciting fusion of digital and traditional storytelling.

​

first and foremost a play of and on our senses. Composing of 3 interconnected stories, each a duet between strangers, this play is a meditation on memory and perception — capturing the poetry of chance meetings in a cold and pitiless Singaporean landscape. Utilised a tripartite approach of sonar landscapes, virtual projection and lighting as tools to create the interwoven narratives. Lauded to be the first professional production of a Southeast Asian play to be staged in Royal Holloway University, and was invited to perform at the Sight-Unseen Drama Conference at Tara Theatre (organised by Aurora Metro Books). 

 

a theatrical experiment that has the body both as a constant and as a variable. The form of your physicality endures, but the memories attached to each limb, each feature, shapes the way you move, use and describe them. Through verbal and non-verbal techniques, the show strives to unravel the stories from the silent storyteller – memories so interwoven, they become flesh and bone itself.

 

developed in Prague as a multi-media exploration of memories and the concept of 'ghosts in the walls' of a space/body. Discusses the relationship of memories with time, material objects, light, shadows and the nothingness in between. 

 

a devised performance developed over a period of 10 weeks alongside actor and physical training, with a group of 17-18 year old youths in college. Revolved around the theme of legacy, the loss of connection, and a joy in one through the passage of time. 

 

a devised piece about masculinity -- 'lad culture' -- and its repercussions on queer youths. Explores themes of hyper-heterosexuality and its impact on individuals from different ends of the LGBTQIA+ spectrums. 

 

a theatrical physical experiment, where it attempts to discuss different types of mental health conditions in a sensitive, provoking way. It aimed to be a material, visceral manifestation of the internal battles that are being fought by the people around us, and would hopefully enable the audience to interact and respond to the tangible images presented in front of them. This performance was inspired by Federico Babina’s animated project Archiatric.

​

Short absurdist performance revolving around the Syrian refugee crisis, in particular the issues of displacement and sense of belonging.

​

Fun, darkly whimsical take on a family and their dependance on pranks and practical jokes as a way of apology, longing, and forgiving. 

​

a postmodern text dealing with traumatic suppression, identity and memory. An exploration into the psyche of a teenager in a coma after an accident, where childhood memories start to emerge and be contextualised in an older,maturer, consciousness.
