In this fully devised production, directed by Jess Haygarth, and written by Alexandra Wood, The Olympians reunite after hundreds of years, but in Richmond.

Across two months of devising and rehearsing, I have created my take on Demeter, alongside 11 other fantastic devisers. Working on movement within this piece has been joyful, using what I have learnt in the past (What Fatima Did, Tara Theatre) to inform how I work in this space has been fruitful. Exploring new writing techniques with Jess to form complicated, yet relatable characters has been exciting, and I hope to use this technique again.

Using my preconceptions of Greek myths, after studying the Epics Iliad and Odyssey, and an avid listener to Natalie Haynes, I have written a back story for Demeter and her love for the four seasons (Vivaldi), and the smell of rain (see: petrichor).

This project is still in the works and I hope to update on this in the aftermath of the project.
