DISGUST
Theatre Performance 2017
DIRECTOR I DRAMATURGE
A new play about a couple, Em and Ben, who came back from a dinner party after a long night where they witnessed an invitee's death. But there are deeper secrets they need to face and long years of marriage they need to discuss. In a theatre in the round, Em and Ben are literally trapped, waiting to see who will be the first person out the door. For the programme,

ALMADRABA by Óscar Peñas
BAM Next Wave Festival 2018
LIGHTING DESIGNER APPRENTICE
Spanish-born guitarist, Oscar Peñas, performs his latest album Almadraba (2019), as part of the 2018 Next Wave Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. It is a classical jazz suite that interacts with Iberian traditions inspired by the traditional almadraba* fishing in Andalusia.
*Almadraba, a Spanish word with an Arabic origin, indicates a place where striking occurs. It is also a 3,000-year old Andalusian fishing tradition (brought by the seafaring Phoenicians) of trapping and catching Atlantic bluefin tuna - shown in some of the pictures to the right, displayed as a projection during the performance.
