Download or read book Salt written by Selina Thompson and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where our real home might be is tricky to say. In a way that is the point. Some people say that it is the body, but I think the body is more of a channel that leads us home. Ultimate reality is our home. It is here and now.In 2016, two artists embarked a cargo ship and retraced a route of the Transatlantic Slave Triangle - Europe, Africa, the Caribbean - all the while contemplating the notion of home. Both real and imagined, it was a journey to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, propelled by questions and grief; a journey backwards in order to go forwards, a diaspora. This show is what they brought back. Selina Thompson's Salt premiered at Southbank Centre in July 2017, and went on to tour in the UK, Australia, Canada and Brazil.Winner of The Stage Edinburgh Award, The Total Theatre Award for Experimentation, Innovation and Playing with Form, and The Filipa Bragança Award.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Somewhere on the other side of the world, a plane is falling from the sky. You can see it on your laptop. You can watch it happening on YouTube.

Pretty much always been fat, and will be fat forever.FATTY FAT FAT is a funny, frank and provocative solo show about living in a body the world tells you to hate.

Download or read book Hear Me Raw written by Daniella Isaacs and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When did our obsession with wellness start making us sick? Hear Me Raw is an autobiographical play based on the author's experiences of the online wellness industry. The play opens with the protaganist playing the typical health blogger: "She has constructed, with uncanny accuracy, that suspiciously 'together' person, the constant smile and unsolicited advice perfected."(A Younger Theatre). As the play progresses we see how this young woman's desire for 'clean living' becomes a deepening obsession with restriction and control. It isolates her from others, disconnecting her from family and friends, so that she selfishly does not attend a family shiva because of her food obsessions. Her controlled regimes also significantly affect her mental health. Daniella Isaacs peels back the Instagram filter to reveal the dirty truth behind clean living. Hear Me Raw is an autobiographical account of one woman's journey through the world of contemporary wellness. A blistering piece of theatre about restriction, control and too much turmeric.
