Overview
How to be a HOT MESS (£10, including Ambivalence)
Joy Cruickshank
Confessing on their 20th birthday that they do not feel comfortable with womanhood or adulthood, thankfully the HOT MESS manual is here to guide them (un)successfully through their twenties.
How to be a HOT MESS is an exciting, fast-paced show blurring stand-up, spoken word, drag artistry and theatre, challenging traditional storytelling and gender norms.
Ambivalence (£10, including How to be a HOT MESS)
Farrell Cox
Ambivalence tells the autobiographical story of a woman’s journey as we are invited to hear her unsaid thoughts through pages of her diary. The piece uses stunning aerial acrobatics and movement depicting her emotional journey as she flies over a stark white bathtub.
The piece charts her journey from rock bottom to top of the world questioning: what is worth living for?
