I am really excited to be spending a day working with Lowri Evans on her brand-new solo show this week. This is her first full length solo show and looks set to be an adventure in performance and live art. It will take place on her 30th birthday at The Lowry and apart from that she isn’t sure exactly what it’s going to be yet. One thing’s for sure that it’s guaranteed to be something pretty special. She is also documenting the process on her blog if you want to follow how she’s getting on.

A Little Voice A Long Way From Here

It’s always really exciting starting work on a new show but kind of scary as well. This week this process has begun for me on the next show that I will be working on with norfox Young People’s Theatre who are the resident young people’s theatre company at the Library Theatre in Manchester. The show is called “A Little Voice A Long Way From Here”. It’s still very much in its infancy so it’s feeling a little vulnerable and flimsy at the moment but I’m really looking forward to getting my teeth into it and seeing how it develops over the next couple of weeks.

It tells the story of a girl called Amber. When she was 11 years old her mother disappeared leaving her to be raised by her father. Upon his death, when she is 17, she discovers that he wasn’t her father at all. Abandoning life as she knows it she travels North to unearth not only her family’s secrets, but also the truth about herself. It’s a story about discovery, about cold nights and about skies that are always starry.

There’ll be a site up and running for the show very soon. I’ll let you know when it’s ready and hope to see you over there.
