Its Summertime in London and everyones starting to show a bit of skin,theyre up for some fun in the sun, taking it all in.
So Jack and Gill went to "The Hill" to have a pint of Lager
Jack met Gretel and Gill met Peter
And this tale is the tumbeling after.
Gill thinks shes fine,
Gretel knows shes not,
Jack wants a partner,
Peter thinks hes hot.
Tumbling After , combines physicality, striking image, text and vocal play. Straddling the gaps between theatre, performance art, and a vivid dream, this is a show that speaks to the brain and the body.
Tumling After follows the journey of two couples, as they tumble in and out of love;
Through an ensemble driven devising process, weve enevitably created a form of storey telling that is close to our hearts, stories that lay dormant (until now) in our bones, with 4 years of poetry , written in a shabby little black book, that has seen every tear, scream , tantrum and loved up laugh i have expelled since moving to the UK from Australia , into a vibrant, real tale of two couples and the impact their (our) simple decisions make on our lives.
Questioning the value of a solo mission versus companionship. Poking fun at all the games we enivitably play with one another, malicious or otherwise.
Tumbling After will feature music from a variety of independant artist such as;
Helen Woodcock - Foof Record - London
The Dirty devine - Brighton
The Slytones - Brighton
Chris J Warren - Brighton
Dan Pavely - Brighton
Bacchus - Brighton
More to come...
These are all independant, immensly talent musicians i have had the pleasure of meeting.
RedBellyBlack productions strives to create oppetunities for under 30 artist, as i believe that every platform we create should host talent from as many creative forms as possible, and the effect of new music that has been (in some cases) written for these character, will have an astonishing effect o the narritive.
This is my chance to give credit where its due, cannot wait for audiences to hear the soundtrack to Tumbling After
The storey of tangled is told through poetry, movement and traditional theatrical drama. The set is constructed partially from a birds eye view perspective (set design model can be found in my portfolio), the beds sitting at a 65 degree angle, this visual aesthetic highlighting that so much can be told from the proximity of our bodies in bed and our physical relationship with one another, sexual or otherwise.
The Tangled bodies intwined on the beds depicting the transparent intentions,desires and fantasies of the characters.
Themes explored are relevant to people of all ages, cultural backgrounds and gender. Is being in a relationship become an obligation rather than a choice? Are we capable of being along? We follow the journey of the two couples, their passion, honeymoon period and discoveries within their cohabiting lives.
How far can people go in chasing a selfish desire and actively hurting their loved one?
This is the house that Jack built.
This is the harlot that lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the rat that squeezed the harlot
That lay in the house that Jack built.
This is the cat that chased the rat
That squeezed the harlot that lay in the house that Jack built.
I am the dog that worried the cat
That chased the rat that squeezed the harlot
That lay in the house that Jack built.
More to Come
There’s a grey area in dating many people get hung up on — a grey area where feelings are ambiguous or one person has stronger feelings than the other. This grey area causes real, tangible issues. As men, a huge question is often whether to be persistent and continue pursuing a woman even when she seems lukewarm or hot/cold on your advances. For women, a common question is what to do with men who make their feelings ambiguous. “She said she’s not interested, but she still flirts with me, so what do I need to do to get her?” “Well, I know she likes me, but she didn’t call me back last weekend, what should I do?” “He treats me well when he’s around, but he’s hardly around. What does that mean?” Most dating advice exists to “solve” this grey area for people. Say this line. Text her this. Call him this many times. Wear that. Much of it gets exceedingly analytical, to the point where some men and women actually spend more time analyzing behaviors than actually, you know, behaving. Frustration with this grey area also drives many people to unnecessary manipulation, drama and game-playing. This is where...
