GMF Brochure 2021 - Flipbook - Page 21
Picture this; snowy mountains,
frozen lakes, dogs (two to be
precise), and a small room
where Jack and Rebecka are
trying to make a show about
being an avocado. Not quite
the traditional ending to that
sentence. But, it's true! In April
2020, at the start of the
pandemic, we are in snowy
Sweden making
Why I am an Avocado.
Since then, we had a tour
delayed, more rehearsals –
this time in Rebecka’s
greenhouse of a bedroom as well as a yoga studio
under a bridge in Brixton –
we painstakingly upcycled our old flyers, and are now on our way to Manchester.
Finally! At The Empty Space in fact.
Over the past 18 months, our company has grown from Jack and Rebecka to include
Amelia Hawkes as Lighting & Scenic designer as well as Signe Blix Herrlander and
Kim Storbacka as Co-Producers.
We are incredibly grateful that we are coming out of the other end of the pandemic
and look forward to meeting the organisers, participants, audiences to show you
why we are avocados.
