THE BODY REMEMBERS (R&D PHASE) 2019
The Body Remembers is a performance piece which investigates where trauma lives in the body and how people normalise these behaviours. The piece will question how hypervisibility and hostile spaces impact and conform our bodies, and the ways in which we heal from this using our bodies as guides. The performance uses projection, soundscapes and verbatim to explore how performer and artist can reach catharsis.
The project is supported by Arts Council England and Jerwood Arts with Movement Director by Mentor Imogen Knight.

GIRLS (2017)
But when they’re kidnapped from home, their world is turned upside down. Hope and despair blur, jokes and fights become one, and the only hash tag that matters now is survival.
Girls is a funny and fiercely passionate new play about enduring friendship, love, strength and girlhood, and explores the voices and stories behind the trending hashtags and headlines that so quickly become yesterday’s news.
