Projects

I am currently touring The Price of Everything, a storytelling and performance lecture show about value.

As well as asking questions about how things acquire value, it explores the nature of the relationship between performer and audience, and the implications that makes about the truth-value of what is said.

My next show, Ash, will premiere in September 2012 at the Maltings, Berwick Upon Tweed, before a full national tour in 2013.

In that project, I am exploring storytelling and its relation to verbatim theatre. I'm particularly interested in how these forms, along with the performance lecture, imply truthfulness, and how their techniques can be used in the performance of fictions.
