Hi there!
I’m Lauren, the marketing manager and performer for False Title.
This is the most exciting time for any theatre company- creating that treasure trove of delicious new ideas, and feeling on top of the world watching them materialise into performance before your eyes. False Title is a collaboration, and our work is constantly evolving and changing; our debut show, WOMENSwear, is slowly taking shape through reading the stories Sam has already collected in previous incarnations of the script, and working on some rehearsal techniques to get the creative juices flowing.
I guess this is the beginning for False Title – I am very excited to get started on this project, and create a piece of theatre which I can be proud of. I have never really thought about international women’s issues, or the ways in which they have impacted on our world; and I have certainly never thought about those people who have fought against their country’s treatment of women, and have made successes of their lives through sheer determination to change the way we think about the female sex.
Although excited, I am also apprehensive about our work with these stories, and the nature of some of them – I have never performed in a verbatim piece before, but I am raring to go and make these snippets of people’s lives into a fully formed theatrical event.
Stay with us for updates!
Lauren
