Thingness is an experimental theatre company founded by my close friend and spiritual warrior Amber Joy aka ‘the narrator’. She puts on productions that combine dance, music, performance art and storytelling, and we are currently working on a performance of a piece we wrote together called ‘I wish for you’. The piece will feature the art forms I mentioned above, and will have a lot of people involved. There will also be an album made with this piece, and possibly also a book version, as there are certain things we are writing that aren’t physically possibly to bring into a real world performance. I am helping Amber with Thingness and she is helping me with life is beautiful and I believe that together we can achieve much greatness.
We are currently working on proposals for Arts Council for both Thingness and life is beautiful, to carry out these projects to the level desired, and to be able to pay everyone involved fairly.
This idea of experimental theatre was something I had not thought about before meeting Amber, but it is an idea that has fascinated me since, and something that I definitely wish to continue, as its possibilities are boundless, and for a performance/ experience I feel that it is a different level of art as a piece to experience. It is a lot of work, but I believe it is definitely worth it in creating masterfully crafted art.
