TOUCH is a series of six films created, initially, as part of a project to help demonstrate a devising process from beginning to end. The idea was to show how something is made from the first fledgling ideas, through missteps and dead ends and the moments of inspiration, to the completed show.

TOUCH began as a simple fascination with our complex relationship with contact. We wanted to demonstrate how a show can be born from simplicity, embracing the limitations of a rehearsal room and some basic props.

The six films are:

1. ZILK

2. PLAY/DUETS

3. WHERE DO YOU GO?

4. REPULSION

5. CUBE

6. MIRROR

Each film deals with a different element of touch; memory of touch; the first touch; denial of touch; what we do for touch and connection; repulsed by touch; and social constraints vs the fantasy of touch.

We present each film here with a short behind-the-scenes look at how director Scott Graham approached the subject.

The following films were created and filmed over a 5 week period in June 2021 at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre Studio.
