Opened at Brighton Fringe 2021 before a national tour and a 4-week run at the Edinburgh Fringe 2021.
Alice is a complex human trying to deal with child abuse-related trauma which she has lived with for 40 years, whilst living with voices and alcohol.
As the day progresses, she unleashes the contents of her ‘box’ that she has kept locked all these years.
Today, she is determined to address this once and for all in a more healthy way and look forward to being at peace with who she is and embracing the rest of her life.
I am an experienced Director specialising in devising new work, and large-scale outside promenade pieces, in non-traditional theatre spaces, where professional actors and members of the community perform together.
My practice starts with a response to the piece both physically and through the script. I use research, discussion, improv and physical exercises in the rehearsal room whilst inviting a feeling of collaboration, exploration and excitement. I like to experiment with art forms and will regularly look at how else we can let the piece evolve.
I enjoy challenging an audiences senses and love immersive happenings pulling in from all art forms such as film/video/sound/music/dance/movement/performance art/visual arts/circus and spoken word.
I have directed Youth Theatre for 10 years, including for the NT Connections Festival five times and for Latitude Musical Festival.
I am available for short and long runs, professional and non-professional pieces, youth and children theatre projects.
