Fest Live is a selection of extracts of new and exciting work from local, national & international artists, featuring: Hilary Chaplain- Classically Trained Artistes - A duo who struggle to maintain their dignity in the face of all odds from one of the USA's foremost physical comediennes. Mary Pearson- FoMO, mofos! (Fear of Missing Out, motherf***ers!) - Pervasive anxiety, exponentially compounded by social media, that something better is always happening somewhere else. New solo based on 5 duets. Irreverent Sideshows-Reservoir Ducks, ruffles the feathers of Tarantino's chauvinistic tipping scene from his iconic film 'Reservoir Dogs', an investigative and playful reading of popular culture. Joanne Tremarco (2016 MDI/Physical Fest Bursary award) - Midwives bring us into this world but who will help us find our way out? "Death Wife" draws on Tremarco's experience of trying to do just that for her mother.It's a journey down the River Styx with a philosopher, a fool and a heartbroken little girl. Sean Kempton- Stuff. "Stuff" is a love story but not the one you've seen a million times before, this is another kind of love story, maybe everybody's love story. Using clown, mime, dance and the audience "Stuff" is playful, fun, sad and familiar. Conflux presents a new piece of work devised and performed by emerging artists based in Scotland. Conflux runs projects to develop street arts, physical theatre and circus in Scotland and runs the annual Surge festival.
