The development and presentation of Handle with Care was undertaken whilst studying Masters of Advanced Theatre Practice at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (London, UK).

​

Handle with Care is an intimate theatrical experience delivered to your door. Each participant receives a cardboard box, reaching out as a desperate attempt for connection and intimacy. The experience of Handle with Care invites you to pause, reimagine and interrogate the familiar with tenderness and care. An experience of discovery, this is a theatrical undertaking that carves out a contemplative space to perform and be performed to, to reflect, respond, and to reach out.

This work comes about as a direct result of the isolation we have been required to endure during COVID-19 as well as the physical disconnect across time and space for us as a group of makers. With company members dispersed across the UK, Spain, Australia and the USA, we have discovered it is possible, fruitful and even reparative to be alone and connected at once. Handle with Care dives deeply into critical questions surrounding intimacy and identity that are increasingly prevalent on digital platforms.
