PALOMA OAKENFOLD
WHAT I DO...
I like to make theatre full of mayhem, magic and pleasure.
I like to break form in new and unexpected ways.
I like to celebrate the present.
I like fun. I really flippin' like laughing.
I like mixing genres; clowning, cabaret, drag, spoken word, puppetry…
More is more!
I like to tell stories that are upside down and inside out…
Stories of outcasts, under dogs, dark sheep.
Stories of those out on a whim and betting their bottom dollar.
Stories that you don’t see coming, stories that go bump in the night and stories that make you want to wink at a stranger.
Stories full of anarchy, poetry and truth.
Stories that give voice to the unheard, give spotlight to those left out,
and help us walk in another's shoes.
I like audiences to be complicit in these stories… I like it when we all get to play together.
