Featured Work
Perchance To Dream

Perchance To Dream was a devised show touring to schools exploring the science and mythology around sleeping.
This was the seventh project where Trisha Lee, David Baird and myself collaborated. We had worked with all the actors and the stage manager on previous projects so the team involved had a shared approach to creating theatre through a devising process. This process always involves actors creating environments, creating music together as a group and has previously used a variety of puppet styles to explore and tell the story.
The process involves a different person leading the group in their area on different days. Sometimes this is design led, sometimes music led and sometimes actor led. All of this is then taken and scripted by Trisha Lee and a more conventional rehearsal process takes over in the last weeks.
