A good review of Stephen Skrynka’s show at the National Theatre of Scotland in today’s Guardian of which I helped him create some zoetropes for.

I went up to see it last Friday and it’s absolutely great.

A really charming, warm and thoughtful view of a way of life that is, at least in the modern age, under threat. Stephen has been working with the Fox Family Troupe for a few years putting this together and has been training to actually ride the wall himself.

The evening is a journey through Stephen’s desire to be part of this but also to allow the audience in to glimpse the way of life of the family itself and combines the zoetropes as a personal response to this as well as some beautiful projections/documentary by Digital Artist Kim Beveridge and a questions and answers session with Ken, Lynda, Alex, Luke and Kerry, the Fox Family. as well as some other things buried around and through the evening itself.

If you’re around Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh this month then I would heartily recommend it as an experience you’ll most likely not see again.

When the show has had its run I will see if I can put up some of the work in progress on my Zoetrope page.
