The STILL is co-created with Laura Sampson to test the possibilities of combining live sound with storytelling.
The latest project was an ambitious one: in August 2024 I joined storyteller Laurence Ashcroft for a unique chance to perform one of the oldest and greatest stories humanity ever told – THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH. Taking place over three consecutive Friday nights at The All Good Bookshop, this summer was epic. Audio from all three nights is on Bandcamp now. Video of Part 1 is on Vimeo now.
Before this my most recent performance with Laura was in November 2023, as the feature act at one of Andrew Ciccone‘s awesome open-air No Computers shows. A recording is available on Bandcamp now.
Before that, as part of Bloomsbury Festival 2023 in October, we teamed up with Stephan Barrett and Diana Redgrave for an all-new show of forest-themed folklore and fairytale intertwined with text-fragments, visual echoes, melodies and sonic landscapes: FOREST OF THORNS at Holy Cross Church was my debut performing live visuals.
Since starting THE STILL Laura and I have been thrilled to work with some of the finest storytellers and sound and visual artists around, taking shows to VAULT Festival 2023 and other festivals, theatres and… less usual spaces(!) all over London and elsewhere.
