Blast Theory & Royal Exchange Theatre (2015)
TOO MUCH INFORMATION was an audio walk around the streets of Manchester, based on a series of frank and funny conversations between an intergenerational group of young people and over 60s. The content was created by the participants and Blast Theory artists through a series of workshops, discussions, interviews and walks around the city. During the 45 minute walk, audiences used a smartphone to find audio recordings of secrets and intimate moments hidden about the city, all set to a score by Martyn Ware of The Human League.
This was the second partnership project with interactive digital artists Blast Theory which I produced on behalf of the Truth about Youth programme at the Royal Exchange Theatre, and was presented as part of the FutureEverything Festival.
