The Arts Council and Hull City Council have kindly funded my upcoming project: The History of Water.
It’s an immersive theatre performance inviting audiences for a swim in two of Hull’s historic pools. Beverley Road Baths and East Hull Pools will be transformed through light, sound, music and stories as participants merrily float and splash their way through the show.
I will be performing with Joseph Kloska. Live music and sound design will be provided by Nadia Morgan. Lighting design is by Tim Skelly. The show is about how precious swimming pools are as public spaces. It is a celebration of pools as spaces for reflection, exercise, socialising and fun, but also a reminder of the importance of our public buildings.
Tickets are £10. Come have a swim!
5-6 October, Beverley Road Baths
12-13 October, East Hull Pools
