Ever thought you could stage a dictionary? Notional Theatre's exploration of gestural slang makes a fair fist of it. It's fun, rude, playful and violent - just like a dictionary.
Notional Theatre’s new work Awkward Turtle Flips The Bird is a unique immersive treat that invites you into the virtual pages of an imagined dictionary of gestural slang. It’s a rich audio-visual, theatrical experience. Look up or browse and you will discover a work full of love and hate, playfulness and accident, violence and outrage. A dictionary is a bound space that uses fractured narratives to record the world: this is thought to be the first time anyone has ever attempted to stage a dictionary.
To explore the physical shapes and slangy senses of everyday random choreography Terry Victor, our artistic director, is developing a glossary of gestural slang for use as a theatrical language.
Tickets for the hour-long Awkward Turtle Flips the Bird on June 22nd are free – but strictly limited. Performance times are 2pm, 4.30pm and 6.45pm.
A one-on-one performance installation will run intermittently from 1.30pm to 9pm.
