Help I Don't Feel Anything go to Fringe!

We’re raising money to take our show to the Edinburgh Fringe this August! We have a slot at theSpaceUK from the 12th-20th and need to raise money to cover the venue costs, Edinburgh Fringe registration fee and marketing costs.

We will also be running some events over the next few months to try to raise money needed for accommodation, travel and expenses but any extra money here will also go towards those.

Anything you are able to give would really help us to get started and make this possible.

After receiving really positive responses from our last sold-out run of the show in Manchester, we would love to take our show to Edinburgh and share it with wider audiences, putting out our voices and creating invaluable opportunities for us.

Thank you so much for supporting us!

Summary:

Three young people tell us that they don’t feel.

They fear feeling, it makes them weak, it means they can be hurt.

They are told not to be vulnerable, not to be angry or emotional because those emotions are dangerous. So now they feel nothing.

But through their stories, we hear how there have been times when they’ve felt so much, and times when they haven’t, and understand that despite their claims, they do have feelings, they are just terrified of feeling them.

The three young people bring us with them as they explain the implications of racism, homophobia, abuse and a constant narrative of being made to feel like you are other, imperfect or a disruption to the lives of those around you.

Liberated when they dance, a form where they are allowed to express themselves without needing to justify with words, they are able to feel the emotions trapped in them from years of trauma. They become strong in their feeling.

I Don’t Feel Anything gives us a glimpse into the most intimate moments of these characters' lives by delving into their minds. The show offers us a chance to understand the nuances of surviving in a world that shuts you down and shuts you out.
