Theatre Development Centre

Luke Murphy, Choreographer in residence at the Firkin Crane and founder of Attic Projects, returns to the TDC to develop a new site specific work, which will be staged as part of the Midsummer Festival in June.

Using the city as its backdrop and with the audience watching through binoculars, ExCaelo, which blends together dance, theatre, and mixed media installation, will challenge the audience viewing experience.

Recent work includes the mesmerizing “The Dust We Raised” 2017 and the poetic and dignified “On Triumph and Trauma” 2016. Luke Murphy creates work that invites discourse and “finds the universal within the deeply personal”

Ruti first came to TDC last year to work on her one-woman show Sideways on Planet Piano. Her first time writing for or working in theatre, the show went on to great success and is still touring widely, having recently shown at the Everyman bar.

Ruti is now back in the TDC to work on a follow up show Great Grandma’s Story. Looking forward to seeing how she’s getting on!
