Our Glass House (2012)

I'm currently working in collaboration with director Evie Manning on a piece of site-specific promenade theater, reacting to testimonies from four women and a man about their relationships with abusive partners.

The theme is domestic violence, responding with dance, drama, art and music. In a council house in Bristol you will see an ensemble cast, musicians, illustrators, dancers and carpenters transform a disused building and create an event that is part-gig, part installation, part-theater.

The play has been funded by the Arts Council, supported by Bristol Council and the NHS, as well as many local domestic violence charities.

There is no actual violence in the play. It is hoped that this production will raise awareness and facilitate emotional and imaginative access to this challenging and under-represented social issue.

The play, called Our Glass House is produced by Common Wealth Theater and is taking place in a council house, donated by the local council. This is a full length piece of work.
