For Claude
Director: Helena Astbury
Year: 2011
Claude Cahun’s iconic photograph ‘Don’t Kiss Me/In Training’ was inspiration for a two line poem, a fractured couplet revealed and hidden throughout this piece about intimacy, tactility and the projected theatre of how it feels to be together.<br /> <br /> A game involving dressing up, repeated, with love. Training for feeling.
Not Jane
Director: Helena Astbury
Year: 2011
A female gure tells us the possible journeys of gures in this gothic space, playing all the parts of girl, bride, woman. <br /> <br /> A dress is stolen, returned, rebuffed. A dialogue of rising and falling, returning and escape. <br /> <br /> This is Not Jane.
After You've Gone, Honey
Director: Helena Astbury
Year: 2010
Existing within the possibilities of the theatrical and cinematic frame, a figure enters the spotlight feet first - a 'starlet' born by breech. She moves as a figure in flux of femme fatale and demoiselle, meshing the physical architecture of cinematic suggestions of these two archetypes.
