Burnout is an innovative one-woman show that will immerse you in music, theatre & film. Help me to get my work off the page and on the stage

Thanks for visiting my page! 

I am currently funding take the first steps in getting my play 'Burnout' off of the page and onto the stage! 

What is Burnout? 

'Burn-out is a psychological, emotional and physical state that we can find ourselves in when we have been exposed to chronic long-term stress... sheer exhaustion and an inability to continue as we have been’  - Dr Moulton. 

Who am I?

I am a multi-platform creative who graduated from East 15 Acting School in 2020. I am an award-winning published playwright, composer and actor-musician. I intend to combine my creative practices to create a one-woman show on the theme of Burnout. I will use pre-recorded footage, loop pedals, music and verbatim to create a relatable, engaging and innovative show.

What is the show about?

When was the last time you really relaxed or switched off? In today’s busy, bustling society, are we putting too much pressure on ourselves to be constantly working and striving to be the best we can be? Taking time out for ourselves can often leave people feeling guilty, especially when constantly viewing other’s success on social media. Combining text, verbatim, music and movement, Burnout seeks to explore the pressure we put on ourselves to constantly be our ‘best selves’, and how this affects your mental health.

Where are you so far?

So far, Burnout has reached the final shortlist for the Carnon Downs Drama Group new play competition. I have also performed a section of Burnout on as part of the Southend Arts Cast. 

I have just begun working with director Elsa Strachan and cast my pre-recorded scenes. I am currently applying for Arts Council Funding.  

What will the money go towards?

The vision for my show includes pre-recorded scenes which will be projected onto the set. 

• The money raised will go towards studio hire, photography and costuming. 
• I also will use the money to pay the actors and directors involved professional pay - which their talent and dedication more than deserves.
