MY NAME IS B ( Goldsmiths Graduation Piece, 2014)
Created by: Emma Berentsen, Umit Erlim, Anthony Keigher & Tiffany Murphy
MY NAME IS B is inspired by Hans Christian Anderson’s tale of The Red Shoes and Josef Breuer’s case study of Anna O: the birth of the Talking Cure. The audience is invited to view B on her 21st birthday, as her psychological struggles play out through a never-ending cycle of systematic daydreaming, panic and self-affirmation framed by B’s never-ending march on red high heels.
My Name is B was conceived for Goldsmiths’ MA in Performance Making Final Shows Festival ‘In the Flesh’ 2014, and has since been performed at Arts Admin as a part of ‘BANNER’, Camden People’s Theatre and Proud Archivist.
”Both rigorous and wanton and is driven by the authentic individualism of the company… an intense and almost redemptive experience”
