BBC Radio Merseyside presenter Roger Phillips welcomed MA by Creative Practice student Amy Courtenay in to the studio to discuss her new production.
Walk a Mile in My Shoes features a 14-strong cast and is based on Amy’s degree research into perceptions and recollections of local buildings and spaces, which have a philanthropic or social historical heritage.
Directed by Amy, the 90-minute performance is informed by archival and recorded conversations with local people and organisations, and draws on Ethnodrama, Verbatim, Promenade and Immersive performance traditions.
Amy’s MA work also includes a legacy application for a blue plaque for Liverpool Hope’s new Creative Campus building, which is the historic site of the first child protection society in Great Britain – now known as the NSPCC.
Walk a Mile in My Shoes will be performed at Everton Shrewsbury House Youth and Community Centre on Friday 14th and Saturday 15th September. Tickets can be purchased via info.walkamileinmyshoes@gmail.com and money raised will be donated to local charities.
