The Works
Thu 22 Nov

The Works is an ongoing series dedicated to developing and testing the work of artists, in a supportive environment. An opportunity for the audience to see performances in-action and be involved with supporting artists development.

This week we have three cutting-edge performances, including cross art-form solo performance 'We Need to Talk About Death'. Joanna Rosenfeld presents this piece in association with the Authentic Artist Collective. The piece examines autobiographical material about death encountered, long term impact of death and grief. The performance will be composed of poetry, puppetry, live films and projection.

Also showing is 'Pink Prisoner', Theodora Van Der Beek’s  performance. The show highlights the gender boxes we put people in and the effect that can have. Referencing the Princess in the Tower, Pandora’s Box, La Boheme & Waiting for Godot, it explores limitation and possibility through the eyes of a princess trapped in a world of pink.

You will also can watch Rachel Blackman’s interactive performance – 'The Vanity of Small Differences'. This performance is in the spirit of Portsmouth Sinfonia, which dives head long into the car crash of imposter syndrome, failure and feeling professionally ridiculous.
