THE GROWING ROOM

The Growing Room tells the tale of three unlikely people coming together in love: Andrea who's scared to love, her daughter Carla, who's in love with danger and a charismatic man who comes crashing into their lives and changes their world for ever.
The Growing Room is a richly drawn, poetic and provocative solo piece about how love never comes in quite the shape you ordered. Loosely inspired by Brian Eno's Reasons for Optimism Symposium at The Brighton Festival 2010, The Growing Room is a love letter to humanity's ability to keep hoping even when the odds aren't great.

The Growing Room forms one part of Stillpoint's Triptych: Three Attempts at Love. A collection of non-sequential solo works on the theme of the struggle to love. Written, conceived and performed by Rachel Blackman, directed by Emma Kilbey, additional direction and mentorship by Wendy Houstoun.
