Quietly Spoken Chaos

Written and performed by Grace Gibson

Inspired by a personal catastrophe,  Quietly Spoken Chaos  is a show about holding it together. With a different local Morris dancing side performing in each show, this piece blends music with movement and performance to playfully look at England’s “stiff upper-lip” and what can happen when we avoid saying how we really feel.
