Warwick University Drama Society presents EAST by Steven Berkoff Directed by Bruno Banks Produced by Georgie Wedge  Me: Performing as Mum (Doris). 

Acting: Sprite Productions annual promenade shakespeare. Youth Cast. Haberdasher/Servant. 

The Protagonimals is a walkthrough theatre installation I made that explores the behind the scenes of animal showbusiness, for example the animals we see in cartoons or childrens story books. I wanted to combine reality with fiction, three dimension with two dimension, both in character and a close relationship with set. It looked at the pressure of stereotypes and expectation, and acted as a reflection of human expectations of performers in the media. Set in a corridoor split into sections, the installation ran for 1 hour, and the audience could walk through and back the same way, whilst the animals carried on (improvising) with their lives between work.  Masks, costumes, set, improvisation workshop/ rehearsal, and direction by India Smith. 

Set designer and co-ordinator.  The Human Animal Wastwater installation for WSAF. An immersive, interactive theatre installation, exploring characters backgrounds, links and stories from Simon Stevens  Wastwater,  as a preview of our Edinburgh Festival production in Aug, 2014. Audience could interact with technology, letters, belongings and sound.
