This Is Reduced

Maverick performance makers GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN have been invited for a 2 week residency at The Nuffield, to start work on their next theatre piece. With the working title ‘This is Reduced’ this project emerges from conversations between Artistic Director Hester Chillingworth, who was born and raised in Southampton, and the rest of company who before now had hardly ever been to the place. ‘A city of compromises’ someone said.

1. Much of Southampton is reclaimed land. (Much of Norway is reclaimed land)
2. It is possible to drown in 30 millimetres of water
3. 87% of households contain at least one A-Z
4. Shipping
5. Shopping
6. You can also (deep breath) dry-drown

GETINTHEBACKOFTHEVAN ask you to join them for a work-in-progress showing, as they put on display the results of the first 2 weeks’ rehearsal/research/play into ideas of soil, sand, home, sea, rising levels and lowering prices, for this brand new piece. Come on The Saints.
