Feeling Good 2006

 

“In Feeling Good, an intriguing, movement-led performance piece commissioned by ICIA Bath as a part of this year’s Bath Fringe Festival, the couple use projection, complex soundscapes and paper objects to explore what makes us feel good and what doesn’t. Feeling Good examines the fine line between the lighter and darker moments of life – a sequences of sensual feelings and images – such as sunshine, laughter, being held by a loved one or messing about with a football contrast with scenes of tension and strife. Set to the haunting music of up-and-coming sound designer Carolyn Downing, the piece is subtle and quirky, rooted in the everyday yet abstract and ethereal.”
Metro Bristol 2006 (on Feeling Good)

Small World 2003

 

“Uncanny, disturbing and brilliant … it eschews the jokes in favour of something more meditative and profound…Sue Lee perfectly captures the dreamy swimming motions of a fetus and an infant’s whole-body pleasure response… a lyrical and riveting hour of performance art. ****
Eye Weekly Toronto (on Small World)

 

“This British import is a mesmerizing piece of physical theatre that creates the universe of a baby from the moment of conception… it’s very atmospheric and compellingly watchable as the backstory of the miracle of birth is played out on stage. Performer Sue Lee and husband Kosta Andrea developed Small World from their experiences of having two children and it appears they were paying close attention.****
Winnipeg Free Press (on Small World)

Carne Vale 2001
Somewhere in the mountains. In the deep winter of the Middle Ages. People who have long left their village return home to share the most important event of the year: Fasnacht – Carnival.

Inspired by the archaic Swiss Carnival tradition, this storytelling piece was a collaboration with acclaimed Tanzanian poet-percussionist Freddy Macha, exploring the ritualistic and animalistic roots of carnival and theatre and the essence of friendship and betrayal woven with sound, rhythm, movement and text .

 

Thriller 1999
Set in the aftermath of war – a young woman is left orphaned. Thriller is a silent piece that evokes a hypnotic world of mystery and suspense. An intriguing black box structure reveals different objects and body parts creating an obscure and delicately humorous, richly visual piece.

Sharks 1998
“Surreal, poetic and haunting.” BBC Radio Bristol (on Sharks)
“This is a delightful show, surreal, poetic and very funny. The performers are all very skilful and almost out of nothing create an extraordinary & bizarre piece of theatre. Definitely a Company to watch.

 

Accolades all around – they all operate comfortably at the same level of excellence. These characters are by turn wryly amusing and touchingly tragic in their obvious ineptitude. It’s compelling and the excellent characterisation proves to be the show’s major strength a wonderful idea, well executed.

I’ve never seen this Company before but I would gladly watch these charismatic performers again”
Arts Council England assessments on Sharks

To Let 1996
A young woman enters her first flat in the big city. Soon she finds more than she bargained for...! Performed with live oboe music, this finely comic atmospheric piece was a "thought provoking insight into claustrophobia of bedsitland" (Cornish Guardian), and explored the moments when one can't stop thinking, what the other one is doing next room.

 

Tango Crush & First Love 1995
Two comic, poetic pieces about the crushing dynamic and pain of love.

Moving to the countryside to make a new start is more popular than ever. The peace and slower pace appeal to those disenchanted with city living, like Sue Lee and Kosta Andrea. They set up a professional theatre company in London after meeting at the International Jacques Lecoq Theatre School. Three years ago they moved to a small shed in Wiltshire. They made the most of the time and space afforded them by their rural retreat. Small World, their most recent offering, premiered at Bath’s Rondo Theatre in 2003 and subsequent audiences across UK and Canada were surprised, delighted, moved and disturbed. Now Small World is coming to Bristol Old Vic’s Mayfest. Metro Bristol feature, May 24th 2005
