Details

An oyster fisherman walks out to sea. A ventriloquist sits on the beach with her dummy. FishHead is their story. It is an original piece about living and dying well. To eat your first oyster, to swim with seals, pursuing simple dreams and friendship. Lydia reaches out to Tom through Jonty, her beautifully crafted ventriloquist dummy. All of the action takes place around/inside/under/on top of a pristine cube of beautifully lit Perspex. Suited dancers seamlessly transform the cube from caravan to boat to cliff top, punctuating the action with fresh choreography. Dancers are students from University of Worcester and University of Wolverhampton.
