ARTISTIC POLICY
Mem Morrison collaborates with a range of multi-disciplinary artists to produce performances in a variety of media for theatres, site-specific spaces and galleries. With a strong emphasis on design and colour, the work often draws upon personal history and environment to evoke the complexities of acknowledging and accepting cultural difference.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘Mem Morrison radiates talent as a writer and performer… witty and intriguing. Proof that live theatre is still alive.’ Independent on Sunday

‘Prepare to be charmed.’ Evening Standard

‘If the words performance, alternative or visual arts have previously left you leaping for the nearest taxi, prepare to leap the other way.’ Attitude Magazine

CURRENT PRODUCTION
Leftovers Explores culture and cultural difference and how this is expressed through food. Houmous meets the full English breakfast in a gentle exploration of how cultures meet and mingle, eat, socialise and influence each other. (70 mins, no interval, 1 on stage, 2–3 on the road.)

FUTURE PRODUCTION
Ringside Inspired by a childhood fixation with wedding ceremonies and based on found film footage of family weddings attended by Morrison over the past 30 years, Ringside is a performance installation with film, live music and a lot of guests.

WRAP-AROUND
Workshops, talks and residencies focusing on making autobiographical work particularly for young people aged 15–25 years.
