Memory Police Promenade Performance
A site-specific, promenade performance - performed at Eel Pie Island, Twickenham. Researched, developed and created by a group of 7 - performers, theatre designers and costumiers. The performance was our interpretation of an extract from 'The Memory Police', a dystopian sci-fi novel by Yōko Ogawa. The extract we focused on, depicts the burning of books and the increasing control of the Memory Police, so themes of books, innocence, fire, smothering and oppression, feature in our performance. My role involved researching, designing and helping construct the 3 costumes, as well as helping with the admin and producing the marketing image for our performance. As the audience walk through the performance, they hear a tailored soundscape and monologue in their headphones, providing context to the performance narrative as they travel through.
