\\\ A LITTLE CONTEXT MIGHT BE HELPFUL… ///
Whilst living in NYC Bay came upon the format known as a “Solo Show” … As someone who had dipped their toe in many different disciplines, Bay jumped at the opportunity to put all the things they love (singing, dancing, being silly, telling a story, etc.) into one theatrical experience. Bay’s first solo show “Growing Into My Beard” was written in 2015 and performed for the first time in the iconic basement theatre Under St Marks in the East Village NYC. The rest is, as they say, his(her/their)story…

#GINGERPRIVILEGE (2019)

A solo show with: sock puppets / red-nose clown / acoustic music / spoken word

In #GingerPrivilege, over the course of a highly quirky hour, Bay (through his many characters) seeks to understand his own personal privilege as well as the concept of privilege as a whole (with all the nuance that comes along with this sensitive subject). Through combined elements of red-nose clown, sock puppets, spoken word, original music and more our shape-shifting ginger attempts the impossible: to once-and-for-all SOLVE EVERYTHING.

/// PAST PRODUCTIONS ///

August 19-23rd 2019 - the “walking version” at Edinburgh Fringe Festival:

This truly fringe-y production of #GingerPrivilege enjoyed 9 shows over-the-course of five days taking place on-and-around Arthur’s Seat as part of Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2019! The audience followed the show from beginning-to-end along the trail while passers-by would catch snippets of the show and sometimes join in through ‘til the end!

July 19th 2019 at Bradford Fringe Festival:

Why? Where to for?

IN BAY’S WORDS:
”THE ULTIMATE GOAL of the show is to open up a dialogue about the subject matter and for us to leave with a sense of community. WHAT’S NEXT? this show will probably always be developing in some way—there’s many conversations being had and research still underway that continues to inspire content. However, at this moment we have a slick 45-minute production that can play in any space from conventional theatre stages to coffee shops to living rooms; So, UK TOUR? I would love to put together a UK tour together and invite speakers in to talk after the show with a moderator to host a live (and possibly live-streamed) Q&A.”
