Fine Bone China is a task-based, part-improvised, part-choreographed performance that explores how we try to hold things together even when everything is falling apart. Lucy and Martha question Englishness, social conventions and how we all often pretend that “Yes, everything’s fine” even when we are clearly drowning. The performance takes place within a surreal minimalist set and playfully leads the audience to contemplate the gap that exists between our Romantic ideals and the bare truths of reality.

We’ve found it. Once and for all we have caught it: the ingredients for the most perfect teatime moment. We want to present it to you, to re-construct it for you exactly, precisely and then hold onto it. We want to rest in a limbo of loveliness where there are no raised voices and we are wrapped in a blanket of sugar.

One week on


Today the chairs arrived in their lighter, more elegant incarnation!
They were soon fixed down by the uber efficient technicians and safe to climb.

Its been a good week of rehearsals. We have been working hard on our deconstructing text, and negotiating the line between task based and choreographed performance. 


For those of you familiar with our earlier versions of 'fine bone china' you will be pleased to know that the quality of the wolves are slowly returning to haunt our delicate stage world...more updates soon.
