A Thousand Shards Of Glass

Over summer and autumn I have been evaluating and plotting...

There are a number of projects in the pipeline. The most imminent is a development to production of A Thousand Shards Of Glass - first worked on back in 2008 during a brief R&D, it was a project with much promise that we are looking forward to completing.

A Thousand Shards Of Glass - is a devised piece in which the audience become complicit in an adventure.

The artistic team is:
Lucy Ellinson - Performer
Ben Pacey - Writer and Lighting Design
Lewis Gibson - Original Composition and Sound Design
Jane Packman - Director

We are working with the thriller genre as a guide, so Ben and I will be doing lots of reading for inspiration over the festive season. The physical form of the production is likely to remain similar to the 2008 version: 30 audience members sat in a circle. I am imagining the piece as a performance/installation crop circle - something that springs up and then vanishes in different settings - but that keeps a very distinctive physical form.

I'll try to post more about it in the new year. In the meantime, just to say that the first performances are at Theatre In The Mill (Bradford) on the 23rd, 24th and 25th February 2012.
