I'm going to talk to you about pain. During the pandemic, Rachel Bagshaw and her artistic team adapted the stage performance The Shape of the Pain for the screen. This process resulted in the 18-minute BBC feature Where I Go. In an Artist Talk, part of Cripping the Pain on Zoom, director Rachel Bagshaw, performer Hannah McPake and sound designer Melanie Wilson show video clips from the original stage performance, talk about the process of creating the piece and how the film revisits the performance as a work of art. They also delve into the pain that informed the production's text and aesthetic, from the first rehearsal to the show's tour, and talk about the great importance of accessibility within the artistic process.
