In this workshop Maisie invites you to bring an object of significance to you that reminds you of a particular time, place or person, and join in sharing our memories. (You are welcome to share your own memory or simply listen to others).

In this 50 minute panel discussion, childhood friends Maisie Whitehead and Anna Millais discuss growing up together and then experiencing their mums dying of cancer within six months of each other. Both artists (Maisie is an aerialist and physical performer, Anna an illustrator), they share their memories of their mums, their experiences of loss, and the ways they turned to creativity when they were grieving. Maisie also tells us about making The Guy in the Luggage Rack, an aerial comedy about bereavement where grief takes the form of a six-foot invisible bald man with a lot of luggage. She explains that the show draws on theatre clowning, circus and puppetry to tackle the themes of grief and bereavement with an emotional punch and a playful touch, and Anna talks about the illustrations she created for a zine that accompanied the performances. The two friends discuss how the show’s protagonist eventually finds a way to make room for grief in her life and reconnect to her memories of her mum, and they also share their experiences of this process.
The full ‘uncut’ version of our new show comes to our favourite theatre for circus in London, the iconic Jacksons Lane.
See the project page for more information about the show. Show 9th and 10th September 7:30pm. Tickets via Jacksons Lane website link below
