Stumble DanceCircus has just released a great trailer for Box of Frogs, interviewing the director Mish Weaver about the the show and why she chose circus as a medium for exploring her own experiences of bipolar disorder:
Its always seemed to me the perfect medium to express huge extremes, obsession, extreme risk taking, ludicrous indevour, repetition, brightness, the loving of showing off, the vanity…
She talks through the show and the characters within it and ends by considering who she feels the audience is for the show – those who like circus, those interested in the mental health perspective or neither. Basically:
I would say come and see Box of Frogs because you haven’t seen anything like it before – you haven’t!
