Happy New Year one and all! With the generous support of Arts Council England, the National Centre for Circus Arts, Warwick University, the Broadway Theatre Barking and the Kevin Spacey Foundation, I have embarked on an R&D process looking at restaging my 2011 site-specific production of Othello as a touring production.
I’m thrilled to be collaborating with Parkour specialist Louis Gift, winner of the 2013 Circus Maximus Award and part of the Barely Methodical Circus Troupe on the project, which will fuse the 90-minute edit we created for the original production with a heightened, death-defying physical vocabulary conveying the militarism and muscularity of the world of the play, alongside the manipulations and contortions of Iago. Watch this space for more info as the project develops.
