Newcastle Alphabetti Theatre
Thursday 13th - Saturday
15th September 2018
Moth Physical Theatre was founded in 2016 by physical actors Chelsey
Lee, Amber-Rose Perry, Charlotte Irwin and Emma Crowley-Bennett. All of the
members of Moth are physically trained actors and theatre-makers who are
graduates from the BA Physical Theatre course at East 15 Acting School. They
pride ourselves in creating visually stimulating theatre using physical
storytelling, movement, puppetry, music and light.
Their aim is to bridge the gap between education and the industry. They
understand how difficult it can be to find work, therefore our mission is to
teach, inspire and guide others is how to create their own. The company
member's most recent credits include working with Les Enfants Terribles, BBC
ONE, BBC THREE, Tangled Feet, David Glass Ensemble, Frantic Assembly, Brunskill
and Grimes, Tall Stories and The Outbound Project.
"Our tale tells of a little girl and Wilma was her name, who loved
to laugh and run and play, more wild and free than tame!" Wild Wilma tells
the story of a young girl who is sold to the circus after the death of her
parents.
Wilma struggles to fit in and meet the strict expectations of the
circus mistress. On a quest to find her identity, Wilma finds the courage and
bravery to be wild and free through the friendship of others. A wonderfully
wild new family show written by children's author, Rachel Lyon (I Wish I'd Be
Born A Unicorn for CBeebies) suitable for ages 4+ told through physical
storytelling, puppetry and an original soundtrack. Be brave. Be different. Be
wild!
So far, Wild Wilma has won the East 15 Graduate Companies Award, Tangled
Feet Mentorship Programme and was a finalist in the 2018 LET Awards and we are
currently in talks and being helped by James Seager, the producer of Les
Enfants Terribles.
