SISTER - BEAM2021

Sister Nishla Smith - Storyteller/Composer Luca Shaw - Visual Artist/Designer Tom Harris - Composer/Musical Director Elin Schofield - Dramaturg Eva Scott - Cast (Sister) Matthew Durkan - Cast (Brother) Performed as showcase D1 on the Hackney Empire main stage for BEAM2021. Sister is a play with songs about a brother and sister who live on opposite sides of the world, so only speak over the phone/ internet. When we meet them, the brother - a painter - is preparing for his first solo exhibition. As his work develops, they’re both forced to examine visceral, intimate memories of their childhood home and the complicated childhood it housed. Sister is about the worlds we build for ourselves, and how it hurts to have them infiltrated. It’s about the interdependence, power-play and emotional intensity of a sibling relationship, set against the backdrop of his anxiety disorder, and the shadows of their shared memories. Stage of development: First draft, early workshops Ideal band size: 4-8 (currently experimenting!) Style of piece: Intimate, immersive music-driven theatre Website - ulita.uk Email - ulita.uk@gmail.com Instagram - @ulita_uk Twitter - @ulita_uk Facebook - @ulita.uk We’re primarily seeking venue partners for production support - to help see Sister through its development and into the performance stage. We’d love to hear from producers too! Nishla Smith is a singer and writer driven by a desire to tell stories. Her unique musical sensibility, along with this preoccupation with narrative, is recurrent throughout a diverse array of musical projects. She’s recently made work for Opera North, East Neuk Festival and Manchester Collective. Nishla is a City Music Foundation artist, and is currently part of Jazz North’s Northern Line artist roster. She’s one third of cross-disciplinary arts collective Ulita, and leads an original jazz band, the Nishla Smith Quintet, set to release a debut album with Whirlwind Recordings in Autumn 2021. Luca Shaw is a visual artist with a distinctive aesthetic of bold, abstract shape and an elusive focus on storytelling that translates naturally to the stage. Her work finds a home across multiple platforms including printmaking, illustration, animation and theatre. She has produced work for musicians such as Anna McLuckie, organisations such as Creative Industries Trafford and created the hand-painted animation backdrops for What Happened to Agnes. Tom Harris is a Mancunian pianist, improviser, and composer, most heavily influenced by Black American Music. Since dropping out of formal music education in 2018, Harris has developed his practice through collaborative work with artists from across the UK (Rosie Tee, Marco Woolf, Andy Scott) and several longer term creative projects (wilkins/harris, Shrews, Ulita). In May 2021 he released an EP of freely improvised music - canyon, exhibits ivi. - alongside drummer Kai Chareunsy, accompanied by poetry, visual art, and dance.
