ARTISTIC POLICY
Mem Morrison collaborates with a range of multi-disciplinary artists to produce performances in a variety of media for theatres and site-specific spaces. His work expands on an impressive back catalogue of memory and personal history to reflect on a wider universal human experience, often revealing previously untold truths. Whether lamenting the break-up of a relationship or confronting his real-life classroom bullies, Mem has established his own original visual narrative with an innate sense of style.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘Humanity, tenderness, honesty and indeed universality all inform Ringside alongside one of the most stylish installations you’ll find.’ The Herald (Ringside)

‘A thoughtful exploration of the roles we play and how these tally up with who we really are.’ Time Out (Ringside)

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