CURRENT PRODUCTION
Leftovers
A site-specific production which takes place in cafes, 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
A site-specific performance for Town Hall and other civic spaces premiering in 2009, Ringside is inspired by a childhood fixation with wedding ceremonies and based on memories of Turkish-Cypriot family weddings attended by Morrison over the past 30 years. Ringside is a performance installation heard through earphones and is part devised through a two week workshop preceding the performance involving 30 women from the local community who will perform with Mem. (90 mins, no interval, 1 on stage plus 30 workshop performers, 3 on the road.)

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