Human

The brief:

Human is a show that evolved from two previous iterations. What Am I Worth was created as a touring show for both indoor and outdoor venues. Then COVID-19 hit and a touring show was no longer possible. We were presented with a unique opportunity to get creative and work out new ways of reaching our audiences. The product of this was What Do You See In Me – a 15 minute film recorded by the artists themselves on their smart phones and broadcast on YouTube.

When restrictions started to lift and touring was possible again, we wasted no time on starting our next venture. A show about the small moments that shape us, Human tells stories from the lives, childhoods and lockdown experiences of our four performers.

As well as having performers live on stage the show also includes pre-recorded footage. With a large screen at the back of the stage we were able to add another element to our storytelling. This approach of including both live and filmed elements draws on what we learnt during lockdown – finding new ways to interact and communicate with each other.
