The summary

When you touch someone’s skin, you perform a seance.

I designed creative captions and visual media for Seance, in collaboration with Eleanor Hope Jones and Palomar Theatre.

An audience of seven sit in a circle.

Vivid recollections of the real world and the Wild West weave a delicate tapestry of a ‘minor’ sexual assault and it’s resounding after effects.

This autobiographic immersive sound installation blends narrative poetry, creative captions, and original music to explore the forced self discovery, loss, and loneliness that can follow these experiences.

Seance was performed at Creative Youth Network in early 2022. The project was funded by Arts Council England, and made in partnership with Theatre Royal Plymouth, RashDash and Creative Youth Network.

The show copy

The Runaway was safe in the wild west, drinking moonshine and playing poker with her found family of cowboys. Then he joined the gang. A man cloaked in shadow whose ‘touch’ tore their world apart.

Inspired by a true story, Séance is a sound installation about coming to terms with a sexual assault. Experienced through headphones and in groups of 7, Séance weaves narrative poetry, creative captions and original music together to create a fantastical world.

Join our gathering and delve into the confusion of bruised friendships, fantasies of revenge and forced self-discovery that follow an assault.
