Tipping Point

March 14, 2017 by wtfadmin

I have worked with this company since 2012 now and I’m so pleased to be able to work on this show. It is simply beautiful. Set in the round like a traditional circus show it draws on its roots and pushes them in new directions. It has a very contemporary feel combining dance with acrobatics, aerial and Chinese pole techniques.

I’m proud to say I have re-lit this show in numerous venues and operate both the lights and sound as well as manage this wonderful company.

Every venue poses a new challenge and this show is touring internationally indoor and out so every place keeps me learning and honing new skills.

He Ain’t Heavy

March 13, 2017 by wtfadmin

This is another great opportunity for me to be a performer. This show is about Grania and her brother Sean, who has severe learning disabilities and autism. Together on stage, Grania and I explore their relationship through storytelling, aerial, Postman Pat and a blend of aikido and control and restraint movements.

I’m very excited to be a part of this with Grania and the rest of the amazing team. It is still in its R&D stage with plans to premier in the autumn of 2017 and tour in 2018. Its going to be a very beautiful, funny and poignant show… watch this space

Snow White

March 11, 2017 by wtfadmin

I jumped back in at the deep end after not performing for a few years into a show that was an all singing, all dancing and playing live music Christmas bonanza. The classic story of Snow White given a new slant featuring real moments from British mining history. We were miners but we were also crocodiles!

The show drew on rusty skills and built new ones like drumming! It was so much fun and I’m so pleased to have had the opportunity to play this not just once but twice over two consecutive years – brilliant!
I’m was in a band! I had a tail!

Triple Bill

March 4, 2017 by wtfadmin

This is the first show that the Ockham’s produced and I’ve been working on it with them since the summer of 2015. Triple Bill like it suggests is three short shows played in sequence to make a 1hr 30min performance.

Each piece uses very contrasting equipment and a completely different theme and like every Ockham’s show I’ve been a part of the technical aspects always pose particular challenges with every venue.

I have proudly relit this show and operate both sound and lights.

The Trolleyed Dollies

March 6, 2016 by wtfadmin

A ridiculous and satirical look at air hostesses from the imagined air line Sleazy Jet. Has been played as a roving act, as through-line characters in a cabaret, and as comperes. Always comes with a duty free bar.
Highlights of festivals and venues performed at include; Glastonbury, Shambala, Sunrise, Brighton Fringe, Carnyville.
