Modest Genius theatre company makes new dark, physical comedy about social taboos. Based in Bristol and the south west, the company was formed by graduates of the Lecoq, Gaulier and Dell'arte theatre schools in 2015. We work with story-telling, physical theatre, mime, clowning, improvisation and music to create anarchic, comic and touching theatre. We are currently working on Dying to Please You,

a dark comedy about death and dying, which we started developing in 2016, based on my personal journey with my late partner Vid Warren, an iconic Bristol Beatboxer who died of brain cancer. Dying to Please You is a mortally funny piece of theatre exploring the comedy behind death, dying and grief. Through music, dance and physical theatre we hope to interpret the world of death and dying as gentle and ridiculous. This project is an exploration into the question: can we laugh in the face of death? Quotes from audience members for the work-in-progress showings:

'so open and honest and funny and courageous...I was laughing or crying so much I almost fell off my chair!'

'puts on the table death and how people deal with it and how ridiculous it all is...honesty that really shined through...Tears and laughter'

'the show was actually just f***ing brilliant'

'such a truthful and mindful show, which... showed a lot of joy through it's comedy and humanity. as well as deep sadness'

'beautiful, funny, and inspiring... truthful snapshots into life around death'

What is unconscious bias?
BIAS is a tendency to prefer on thing to another. Often bias is based on how it makes you feel.
Feelings aren’t facts and often arise for UNCONSCIOUS reasons. Feelings tell us about ourselves but not about the world.
Acknowledging UNCONSCIOUS BIAS exists is a key to critical thinking.
