Theatre performance & Sound design

cirxus

Sound design created for immersive performance 'Cirxus', presented by Foolish People. Sound environments were used to define different areas within the space, each carrying their own associations, emotions, and mood. The sound design reflects the story of a circus and its inhabitants, caught in the wasteland of a nuclear accident.

Performed as the 'Blue Lady', worked as assistant director and a core part of the creative team.

abattoir pages

Sound design for site specific performance 'The Abattoir Pages' presented by Foolish People and Guerilla Zoo. Different 'sound making' objects where designed, to be used by the performers as they saw fit. In addition to this, sound environments were created to define areas within the space. The sound design was inspired by an ancient forest hidden within an underground space in London.

I performed as part of the event, and worked as a core member of the creative team.
