                                           ABOUT

               "tessellate" by Louisa Robbin

This will be about forgiveness, about going in circles, breaking bad habits. Self-help blogs, sex as self-medication, writing lists. The rule of three, an exit strategy, recovery.

                     "Mantra" by Marv Radio

"Mantra" is a show like no other with a performer like no other. 3x Team UK Beatbox Champion Marv Radio takes you on an immersive storytelling adventure to other worlds. Weaving together his own stories based on his journey through life, hip hop and spirituality, Marv Radio's "Mantra" combines the mediums of rapping, beatboxing, storytelling, movement and improvisation skills to change the way we think about beatbox, spoken word and theatre. 

                   "Ruins" by FUBUNATION 

We are deconstructing the power struggle within ourselves and finding the balance between conflict, vulnerability and co-dependency. Allowing us to own and repair our own deeper anxieties that we have learned so well to mask. FUBUNATION will be working with the sound designer, Sam Nuñez.

                                     Louisa Robbin

  • A multidisciplinary artist and writer, Louisa makes work about her lived experience of depression and recovery. She is intent on making art that explores the beauty in ritual and the self (self-care, self-harm, self-esteem). Her recent body of work 'to care', comprised of a self-care ritual and haunting harmonic vocal drone, it's about self-hate and pretending to be ok.

    Drawn towards the unconventional, she is particularly interested in performance, artist development, and producing innovative participatory projects and events. Louisa aims to invest in the development of artists and makers across multiple platforms with a focus on wellbeing, identity and heritage.

    Recent involvements with arts organisations include: Wellcome collection, Steakhouse Live Festival, Fierce Festival, BUZZCUT & mac Birmingham.
