Omnibus

A scratch night presenting emerging artists working across art forms and between genres.

Harmony by Jemima Foxtrot

Harmony is award-winning spoken word artist Jemima Foxtrot’s new poetry play. In Harmony, Jemima fuses poetry and song in her unique voice to explore the many conflicting identities that inhabit us all, how these identities grow from experience, how they clash and harmonise.

Elephant & Castle by Tom Adams

Tom Adams: “Elephant & Castle is the name of the new show about sleepwalking that I am making with Lillian Henley. Writer and musician David Parkin will be Dramaturg. Lillian and I are composing music bit by bit this year and will then build the show in Jan-March next year, premiering in Spring 2017. It is called Elephant & Castle because one of the first things I said to Lillian in my sleep was, “I want to get in a cupboard and take you to Elephant & Castle.”

For the last two years I have been recording myself sleeping. This is because I slept talk. I also sleep walk, grind my teeth in my sleep and my wife has to calm me down.

The smattering of recordings are the tip of the audio iceberg and will be the ingredients for my new show accompanied with a lie soundtrack of vocals and guitar looped on my loop station. I will be collaborating with pianist and singer Lillian Henley, performer an composer with the 1927 Theatre Company.
