Deliverance

Strike a pose
Look 
Who are you these days?
 
Get ready for a fun, reflective night in by yourself, performing your own solo theatre show, with your own personal soundtrack. In Deliverance, a person arrives at your door with an envelope. Inside is your script - a set of instructions that you will follow for the next 90 minutes. You’ll dress up, you’ll dance, you’ll pose in the mirror, you'll even receive a phone call from a stranger, but don’t worry, no one will be watching but you.

 Deliverance is a step to remove the spectator altogether and make work that is solely participatory. This idea of not-watched performance is derived from a school of thought that all our actions are performative. Brite Theater are thrilled to have Deliverance, our boldest experiment to date, produced by Vanishing Point, the Scottish visionaries of theatre. Their support is instrumental to our growth as a company and artists, and we can’t thank them enough. We'd also like to thank Creative Scotland for funding our current tour. 

19 Poems

From the 1st of February to the 20th we posted a poem a day made especially for our audiences who submitted requests through our social media channels. The project kicked off with a film of Two People, Alone . It stars the fantastic Danielle Jam and Sandy Bain, who filmed the piece in their home. Words by Kolbrún Björt Sigfúsdóttir. Music by Tom Oakes. The film was made with support from Allan Wilson. If you enjoy the film please consider buying us a ko-fi. All support greatly appreciated!  You can find the rest of the poems on our Facebook page or Twitter account.
