House of Card

The Cardboard Club was set up by my friend and I when we started creating set pieces and installations out of cardboard. It really caught on, I think people just loved seeing something so quirky and friendly made out of something that is usually just considered rubbish. We were asked to work with a group of adults who have mental health difficulties to produce an installation of a house for the annual 'Expressions' exhibition held by Aspects and Milestones Trust. We worked with a small group over a period of five months and produced the 'House of Card', cutting and sticking and making basically everything you could think of that you might find in a cardboard house.

The Ups and Downs of the Town of Brown..

The Ups and Downs of the Town of Brown was a political, site-specific musical based on The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahogany, a play by Bertolt Brecht. Common Wealth 

Theatre Company collaborated with artists, musicians and performers from all over to produce this unique and inspiring piece of theatre.

 Based in the Old Bridewell Courtrooms in Bristol we (the Cardboard Club) transformed the marble pillars and eerie stands into a cardboard set fit for the all singing all dancing cast of renegades, complete with storytelling proscenium arch and fifty piece cardboard orchestra.
