Degree Show 2023

For the degree show I wanted to create my own little performance space tailored to what I wanted to do. With my other performances, I have always inserted myself into a pre-existing site, trying to adapt and to play with it as a form. Creating this strange, dark theatre space it has become like a little home for this performative persona/character, a fantasy land of sorts, of singing, trivia and dancing. Beside the stage is a small backstage/prop storage area covered in a shear material, this way my other two fantastic performers Finlay Mackay & Mila Manasova as stagehands become characters themselves.

The Show is a variety (of ) show(s), formed of a series of 7 performances:

1. The Show Tune
2. The Game(Show)
3. The Man Vs. The Moon (An Ode to Andy Kaufman)
4. Mallet Space, Live!
5. Talking Hedges
6. The Critique (Critting on a Friend)
7. The Life & Death of a Song & Dance Man (Slippy Floor)

The performances consist of mix of newly written, and remakes and homages to old performances. It has become quite a reflective process, and a nice end to my degree.
