I’m hosting the next What’s Going On In Your Head? show in London on 24 March 2020 and the theme we have chosen to explore is mania.
What it is like to be on a creative high, to have boundless energy, heightened perceptions and to feel like you can do everything and anything? Do extreme highs enable people to access a whole new level of creativity? Van Gogh, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Sylvia Plath, Rachmaninoff and Tchaikowsky are oft quoted as great geniuses known to experience extreme mood swings. Waiting on the other side is a low that is capable of going as deep as it went high. Is that a price worth paying for the highs?
If you have lived experienced of bipolar disorder and would be interested in performing at the show please get in touch. Performance slots are suited to musicians, vocalists, poets and spoken word artists, dancers and stand-up comedians.
