Journeys takes part in the London Bubble Theatres production of 'Gilgamesh'
Incredible Journeys worked with elemental threads of the story of 'Gilgamesh': sleeping on the forest floor; people made of earth and clay; the body as a landscape in nature; baking bread and making bread lights; lanterns; dreams; cacophony. The project worked with natural materials such as stones, bark and leaves. The process included excursions into Oxleas woods, the Bubble theatre rehearsals, and Entelechy workshops. This was documented by web cam, digital camera, mini-disc, and DV camera and made into a short film. Workshops brought the Bubble actors together with the Incredible Journeys group, who then guided the Bubble participants and actors through a sensory landscape. |

| 'Mary'
and 'Mary Complains' 'Mary' was a touring, group-devised performance, telling the story of a woman with learning disabilities who lived in house supported by care staff. Particular members of staff had no respect for residents' needs and choices and the quality of people's day-to-day lives was seriously affected by a professional negligence. The performance used Forum Theatre techniques to engage audiences in exploring practical strategies that would enable Mary and her fellow residents to make changes in their lives. In Forum Theatre audiences are able to stop the theatre action and directly step onto the stage and into the lives of the protagonists to try out ways of making things different. The success of the 'Mary' project led to 'Mary Complains', a video and training pack for people with learning disabilities, illustrating ways in which social services complaints procedures could be used to make changes where people received poor quality services. |
