HELLO SPRING!!!
I know I have been absent for a long time!
But I am back and with lots of news...in chronological order.
RED LADIES
I will be helping Clod Ensamble celebrate 20 years of RED LADIES @V&A on the 20th April with a series of actions around the museum...
I have worked with Suzy Wilson and Paul Clark for so long ...my first Red Lady was in 2006 ... since then the show took many different shapes and forms and has travelled around the UK and Europe. So happy to be able to be there to celebrate with them. Come and witness the world with us!!!
MIRAMARE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS
Last year I was commissioned to make a piece for the beautiful park of Miramare in Trieste by Teatro Stabile Politeama Rossetti. Finally the show will be opened to the public. Following a press conference to present the summer season of Rossetti @Miramare you will be able to take part in the piece on the 10th May @Miramare park.
Just bring your phone and some good headphones, and explore the park through a poetic lens that goes back and forth in time. Take a deep breath, let yourself be guided and listen.
The piece will be available every day during opening hours @Museum Miramare duration 30mins

HUMAN RIGHTS BINGO
A clown show with a conscience....someone said...
In the current state of affairs where people's rights are being ignored, trampled on and secretly (not so secretly) removed it is important to remember what they are.
IF YOU KNOW YOUR RIGHTS YOU CAN ACT UPON THEM.
I have been working really hard with Yael karavan on this show which we are very very proud of.
We have been extremely lucky to work with two brilliant clowns as outside eye: Sarah Cameron and Lucy Hopkins they have pushed us and the show so much.
...we are finally ready to show you what we have been making...so get your diary!
...HUMAN RIGHTS BINGO will be @:
Brighton SPIEGLETENT on the 16th May

DIY SWIMMING HOME
This side project that accompanied Swimming Home is now an exhibition!!!
Working with publishing company Aquario Libri I will be presenting a few of the portraits I received from audience members after their experience with Swimming Home as DIY Swimmers in their own bath (or shower) accompanied by a short sound piece....it's all about WATER....THAT CONNECTS US ALL!
The exhibition starts on the 23rd of May and will be on at the headquarter of Aquario libri, Turin for a month.

WORKSHOP
following the opening of DIY- SWIMMING HOME on 25th May in Turin I will be giving a workshop on AUTOTEATRO.
A practical workshop to get to know the strategy and to experiment with it to build an autobiographical piece.

STILL NIGHT
I am so happy to say that finally Still Night will be performed in Milan!!!! Developed between Brighton and Kochi Japan, passing through Brisbane, London, Athens, Bristol, Yokohama and Pergine, the show is finally landing in my home town and I am super excited about sharing this piece there.
Inspired by italo calvino's Invisible City, Still Nights brings Milan centre stage through a surreal and magical lecture show that transports you to Kubla Khan's gardens 'in you half closed eyelids'.
The piece will be on @Fondazione Feltrinelli the 7th of June for Milano Fringe Festival 2024 LINK part of the EXTRA FRINGE programme.

The piece will also be part of Festival des Antoipodes in Bataville France. and incredible place that was founded by Mr Bata (shoes). A whole village built around the production of shoes....
The factory shut in 2006 and was abandoned....until a group of artists and theatre makers (off course) decided to bring it back to life with a whole new purpose ... not commerce but art & research. I had the privilege to take part in a week of experimentation with the amazing women that run the Fabrique Autonome des Artiste and I can't wait to be there again.
