When
The
Tide
Comes

Took down our display in ‘s Red Herring Gallery today…

🌊

Unsettlingly quick and simple to take down...it’s always easier to take it all away than install, we said.

We’ve had salt dough models, zines, pictures, and audio from interviews conducted with Hemsby’s community since May ‘25, on display in our own little corner of the museum for the last 3 months.

We’re inviting people to consider their relationship to the coast and the people living around it. Do you ever think about the coast and how it’s changing? For many of us in Norfolk this is no longer a choice but an urgent question…we’re urgently seeking solutions from central government that are coming at a much slower rate than the North Sea.

🌊

Thinking of our friends in Hemsby now more than ever.

Thank you for supporting this year long R&D.
And all of our supporters and partner organisations including and and of course

Work(shop), work(shop), work(shop)…!!!

Decided to make 2026 the year of workshops and it’s working out pretty well so far!!

and I will team up for the first time to deliver a workshop THIS SUNDAY as part of a series of planned activities by .

We’ll be exploring ‘The Female Body As An Autonomous Zone’. Poppy has been exploring this topic through her practice as a performance artist for many years.

I’m so excited to have the opportunity co-create our own ‘autonomous zone’ at Cambridge Junction and explore my own work through an entirely new lens.

We did a thing!!!

Yesterday marked the launch of a series of verbatim workshops…we spent the entire day with an awesome group from Artist Network.

We’ve reached a point in our practice where we’re ready to share our processes (we’ll let you in on a secret, it changes every time 😜) and everything we’ve learned the hard way (by making several verbatim and docutheatre touring shows since 2019 😏)

We 💚 💙 🩵 verbatim theatre, and think you just might too 😬😬😬

Can’t wait to share some delicious video feedback from our participants in the coming days…

Give us a shout if you’re interesting in us visiting your school, community or theatre space, we’d love to chat.

Visiting, or re-visiting, The Verbatim Greats as I prepare to write our next show ‘When The Tide Comes’, honouring the words of locals and highlighting the tragic mismanagement of the people at the literal cliff face of coastal erosion in the UK …have I missed anyone?? All recommendations very welcome please.

Mostly

[as many as I could get my hands on…so far…]
📖
David Hare ‘The Permanent Way’ about the privatisation of our railways

And of course ‘London Road’ …based up the road in …we won’t be making a musical but there’s something really beautiful about the use of repetition in lyrics while remaining true to the interview material.

🌊 Launch of our little corner of museum on Monday 🌊

Voices of people of live in and love Norfolk seaside town

Since we started our project ‘When The Tide Comes’ almost a year ago, we’ve seen an unprecedented number of demolitions. People’s homes, livelihoods and community lost in an instant with no means of support.

Our corner of in shares some stories, pictures, models, poems and zines of people young and old. Celebrating what’s left of our coastline and asking, ‘Why Hemsby?’.

You can check it out all Easter and into early June.

Huge thanks to the museum for hosting us. As well as all our participants.
