Heather's Projects
I, The Girl (2023)
Physically Mental (2023)
Finale (2022)
'I, The Girl.' (2023) performed at Contact Theatre in Manchester commissioned by WordOfWarning for Emergency 2023 was Heather's debut solo show. This piece was a trans-media exploration of representations of mentally ill women in media, the history of hysteria, female neurodivergence and lived experiences. This work blended film-making, animation and live performance, and Heather aims to develop it further soon!
'Physically Mental' (2023) is a short film- shot, performed and edited by Heather in response to a competition provocation set by HOME Theatre and The British Film Institute. The film explores her lived experiences with PMDD (Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder) through contemporary movement and cinematography. This film was selected as a finalist in the competition and screened in Leeds with Leeds Park Picture House.
'Finale' (2022) performed at Contact Theatre as part of Arden School Of Theatre's 'UnTapped Festival' is a piece of performance written and choreographed by Heather. The show investigates the female body, reclamation of trauma, empowerment and liberation with a sparkly bimbo aesthetic. Heather shares a journey of autobiographical moments, some of hilarity and some of darkness - all wrapped up in a commanding, moving performance. She hopes to revisit, rework and redevelop this work soon!
