MAKING TRACKS
(PART OF THE THIS IS A PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT SERIES)
Director
The National Railway Museum (SUMMER 2015)
Co-directed with Annlouise Butt
Movement Directed by Saffia Sage.
Making Tracks was a piece of verbatim, site-specific theatre about the importance of women and the feminist movement during the history of the railway industry and was part of the Department's This is a Public Announcement series. My role in this production included facilitating the devising, structuring and polishing of material around the interviews we conducted, and also making executive decisions on how to respond to the needs of the space. We wanted to create a show that could appeal to all ages, but also had something to say, and the show we ended up making was both deeply political and bursting with energy. It incorporated elements of live music and physical theatre as well as being an immersive experience for the audience, where - much like an interactive museum exhibit - the audience could chose what they wanted to learn about and in which order.
