"Into Our Dreams" - Devised production - The Almeida Theatre/2000
Directed by Ben Harrison - Lighting by Natasha Chivers
DESIGNER: FRED MELLER

Using the direct experience of the participants and using dreams as a starting point to explore the possibilities of making Theatre in response to different spaces. Story-telling skills through movement, puppetry using found objects, animation of usually inanimate objects and dealing with archetypal imagery were frameworked by a dream day, a wedding, in which the arrival of a jilted lover has catalytic consequences.

A chance to embrace and explore cultural diversity, - yet the group were unified in a visual language taken from their surroundings and experiences: A room of broken glass over which a waiter was suspended; a room where tree roots hung from the ceiling; a room full of 147 toasters; sinks filled with blood; corridors of beer cans; famous peoples faces and a goldfish in a urinal. A corridor of moving feathers as a final link to the outside world.
