HIP
by Kriya Artssite-specific-and-immersive, theatre
"HIP is a hugely enjoyable, engaging and at times profound reflection on what we create and what we leave behind." - Total Theatre
about the production
Based around found objects, this semi-autobiographical one woman show starts by introducing you to a flat caught between two timelines and personalities: the home of Anne Clarke during 70s bohemian Brighton, and a squat established by Jolie Booth in 2002. HIP transports the audience, in this extra-live performance, to a cosy living room with hypnotic OHP, cushions, incense, tequila and nibbles. Jolie’s soothing and passionate storytelling interweaves Anne's real letters and diaries with vestiges from her own life to reveal an immediate and clear association. "An authentic and human exploration of inherently unstable modern tribalism." - Sick of the Fringe
about the artist
Writer, artist and producer, Jolie Booth created Kriya Arts in 2003 as a cutting edge arts and production company with a passion for making creative and innovative work in a variety of mediums. Jolie's interests cover a wide range of practices and she has worked with many highly respected artists such as Jess Thom, Jess Mabel Jones, Brian Lobel, Emma Kilbey, Max Barton Angela De'Castro and spent six years training and performing with the world famous fool Jonathan Kay. Her first one woman show HIP premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2016 to critical acclaim.
