Signal Fires: 6 Notebooks
Signal Fires: 6 Notebooks is a collection of texts written and shared from Signal Fires 2020: short plays, monologues, prose and poems, intimate and fierce. With them comes a new invitation: to gather around a fire of your own – be it a bonfire, a candle, or even a torch – with friends or strangers, to collaborate and connect. Share these texts again, or write new ones to perform alongside them; speak up, sing out, and light new ways forward, out of the dark.
Slam, a short piece commissioned by Spare Tyre, was performed as part of Signal Fires: Beyond the Shield in November 2020.
