Back in December 2013 I had the joy of working on the Come Heavy Sleep production by Kindle Theatre. The story is loosely based around Othello (I started in a production of this back in 2009):

Come Heavy Sleep is a passion-fuelled murder story that takes inspiration from Shakespeare’s Othello. This performance tests ideas that will eventually develop into a large-scale ensemble spectacle, fronted by the band The Come Heavies with bold choreography, chopped-up narrative and stunning visuals. The music moves from 16th Century Lute to Noise Pop into Industrial Grindcore and 1950′s-style romantic ballad.

Come Heavy Sleep happened on 13th and 14th December and it was a great success! It seemed like the audience enjoyed themselves and for me, even though it was only 30 minutes long, it was a really exciting and challenging experience.

In my usual work I have more of a free reign over what I do and don’t as much knowledge of the running order of the performance. That, and I’m not usually performing on a two-metre high platform on stage in front of an audience!

On Friday 13th (eek) and Saturday 14th December I’ll be making a slight departure from my usual work in clubs and arts festivals to provide visuals for Come Heavy Sleep by Kindle Theatre.
