About the Event
A performative reading of a short story by Helen Dunmore. The Towel uses contemporary examples of performative reading to explore an intense experience of storytelling and listening to a spoken story delivered from the stage. There are no representational extras or theatrics just the act of watching and listening to someone performing the task of reading. The short story follows a young woman moving away from home for the first time and having to look after herself in a strange bedsit. This is similar to the performer herself and many students in the audience. "The Towel" looks at her life in real time following a 20-minute first encounter with the bathroom. The audience is invited to imagine the first moving away from home and the feeling of the young protagonist.
Created and performed by Holly Alicia Dixon.
