A devised physical theatre work exploring the over-powering human desire to be brilliant. 

This piece was developed from an initial concept of mine through a rigorous 4 month exploration and devising process with the cast of four. The cast were led through exercises and improvisations to develop and explore character, and to create the world of the production, and to explore the physical creation and movement of the piece.

I consider the piece to be a great learning experience for me as a director and writer, and believed the performance to be the powerful first draft of a great production. I would one day love to revisit the production, and to continue to develop it towards its greatest potential.

• Pitched script and concept to University panel of Professors for production.
• Designed the production. Including set, costume, lighting and sound.
• Directed student actors.
• Acted in a leadership position, resolving cast and crew issues to see the production successfully into completion.
