Arts AdminArts AdminThis is how i dream it. This is how it feels. And I am not a sailor. I cannot steer a craft. I cannot tie a reef knot. I cannot swim. But still, this is how it ends. I am out here with the lost mariners, the castaways, the shipwrecked and the sea-swallowed.
A new Curious performance made in collaboration with filmmaker Andrew Kötting, composer Graeme Miller and performers Claudia Barton and Joseph Young. It is about gut feelings; fight, flight and freeze reactions; impulse, love and undefended moments. Set in the belly of a whale.
Film and live action merge with sampled sound and siren song as the audience is cast adrift with only stories and half- remembered truths to sustain them.
Film and live performance, soundscape and installation combine in this love story to offer glimpses of an endless horizon as well as intimate close-ups.... There is something immensely wistful about a piece that demonstrates that we are merely chemical compounds, and yet also shows us how to discover equilibrium. (4 stars) The Guardian

There are a thousand beautiful moments: my favourites include a film of a woman floating adrift at sea projected onto a tiny Sealegs packet and a harrowing story of a childhood terrorised by a sword- swallower’s accident. It’s a rich and rewarding experience being immersed in this watery world. Total Theatre
