This weekend I did a little bit of immersive performance for Pins and Needles at a wedding! I played both a comedy granny and a bell boy, directed by the lovely Emma Earle.
You can find a snap of one of my costumes below!

Mushrooms
This week I directed a short piece of new writing for all female theatre company, Instinct Theatre. We were lucky enough to create a multimedia piece using microphones and live sound-scaping in collaboration with Brigitte Hart (violin) and Chloe Penney (harp).
Mushrooms, by Benjamin Wal
Director: Chloe Doherty
Marina Tapakoudes
Eliza Perraine
"Two women are struggling with their relationship and decide to take magic mushrooms as a novel kind of joint therapy. The tension is clear between them, but eventually, as they wait for the drugs to have an effect, they begin to warm to each other again, and reminisce about beginning of their relationship. But as they become comfortable, a confession is made."

Due to the nature of the event, previously I was unable to share details with you. However, now the show has closed Gingerline have released a post-show promo trailer... Enjoy! https://vimeo.com/202416089
Punchdrunk
I've spent this weekend at Fallow Cross working with Punchdrunk's Maxine Doyle. We worked for Punchdrunk's improvisational movement techniques and explored the space/set both physically and emotionally as audience member and performer through different tracks and soundscapes.
The moment they open their R&D space to the public I seriously urge you to check it out! The attention to detail was phenomenal.
Again, no photos allowed! So, you'll just have to take my word for it!
The Night That Flows
