You Aren't Doing it Wrong (If No One Knows What You're Doing)

An interactive solo performance about failure, feeling like an idiot and music.

Join Rachel as she dives headlong into the car crash of perfectionism, imposter syndrome and non-award winning moments.

Part confessional, part invocation, but really a collective celebration of our right to fail

Rachel Blackman

Rachel Blackman is a human person based in Brighton. She is originally from Australia where the seagulls are more normal sized. Her ancestors are a motley crew of convicts, ten pound poms and Vikings who all eventually and somewhat inexplicably became classical musicians. In Brighton she mostly makes theatre, reminds people they are in living bodies and wrestles her chips from the enormous dinosaur-sized seagulls you guys think are normal over here.

As a theatre maker, she has made 5 full length original plays, The Art of Catastrophe, Steal Compass, Drive North, Disappear, The Growing Room, Moon Project and this one. Some of her plays have won awards. She has also made smaller works and collaborated broadly across many disciplines. Before this Rachel trained and worked as an actor where she did a lot of cool stuff that you will likely never have heard of - except for that time she turned up on Home and Away once. You Aren’t Doing It Wrong (If No One Knows What You Are Doing) is the first time Rachel has appeared as herself in her own work, which is something she didn’t really want to do and argued about with the director until she eventually lost.
