- Synopsis
- Endlessly inventive dance theatre artist Rhiannon Faith shines a light on the complex subject of domestic abuse in an empowering and participatory performance highlighting human resilience. Beverly is having a party and you are her guest. Both performers and non-performers come together to tell their real stories of domestic abuse in a unique, turbulent and empowering way. Shameless and subversive dance theatre about human resilience, survival and how we care for one another. Expect games, dancing, humour and a very raw and honest account of domestic abuse. Each member of the all-female cast, a close-knit group of nonperformers and dance artists, fearlessly takes on the persona of Beverly to convey turbulent, real experiences. Faith’s work with a support group at charity Safer Places underpins this show, which seeks to raise social consciousness around domestic abuse by supporting women to openly talk about it. Includes forewords by Bryony Kimmings (Performance Artist) and Joanne Majauskis (Safer Places).
