ADVISING DIRECTOR

Idle Hands Collective brought together eighteen multi-disciplinary performing artists (actors, musicians, writers, dancers, drag artists), many of whom had never met, and provided them with three days of rehearsal space at the Cambridge Foundry to create four brand new devised works and several solo pieces. They built Lady Liberty out of garbage, haunted a garden, entreated their entire audience to join them in singing a Japanese folk song, turned a Greek myth inside out, used enchanted musical wine glasses to lure the inner tap dancer out of a businesswoman in a Very Important Meeting.This incredibly lively whirlwind culminated in two performances at Warehouse XI. I had the immense joy of providing feedback and support during all devising rehearsals.
