Works In Progress
Our production company are working on some exciting new work.
Blood Rites
COVID lock down has highlighted the importance of community and connection.
This is a timely play about the importance of women connecting through their collective stories and the power of community in building resilience.
Blood Rites was informed by socially engaged participation workshops as part of the Menstruation to Menopause project. Along with strategic work with Public Health organisations to improve reproductive wellbeing, commissioning and services for women.
Blood Rites puts women stories centre stage and features a culturally diverse intergenerational female cast.
Through its development, there have been readings and scratches performed at VAULT Festival, Arcola Theatre & Park Theatre.
Anansi the Spider
Anansi the Spider is a trickster who, despite his own fallibility, using guile, wit and inventiveness, overcomes seemingly insurmountable challenges and adversaries.
The tales are full of humour and life. The joy of the Anansi tales is their universality, engaging people of all ethnicities, whilst offering a window into the rich and too often neglected cultural reservoirs of the Afro- Caribbean community.
The Anansi stories travelled with the Slave Trade to the West indies and then, with Caribbean migrants, to the UK. This is an intergenerational project informed by work with Afro-Caribbean elders sharing their memories of storytelling.
The show will be taken out to schools to help diversify the school curriculum and elderly homes. We will also be taking the show to Manchester Festival in 2021.
This is a collaborative project with puppeteer Caroline Ada. Project consultants include two leading lights in the world of puppetry, Sarah Wright Artistic Director at Curious School of Puppetry & Judith Hope Artist /Puppet Maker.
Help us take the show out to schools and the elderly community.
