IN MY SHOES: WAKING IN SLOUGH
In My Shoes was conceived to help people in unique and difficult situations communicate their experiences through art and first-person documentary. In this performance, Jane Gauntlett uses a combination of multi-sensory theatre, technology and first-person documentary to recreate an extraordinary real-life event. The project has been exhibited internationally at festivals, hospitals, universities and institutions, from Parliament to The Roundhouse, UK Design Festival, UCL, NYU and Columbia University, and will be shown at Sheffield Documentary Festival.
MORBID ABNORMAL ME
This clown-esque storytelling duet between Gaulier graduates Shea Wojtus and Nora Smith is an honest, heartfelt and hilarious examination of Shea’s real life fears and severe anxiety.
As a child, Shea, was always confused as to why she couldn't quite embrace life in the same way as others. MORBID ABNORMAL ME is a theatrical collage chronicling the struggles of trying to live when you always think you’re about to die.
