Brid Addison-Child

🚨THE EEL QUESTION - mini audio doc 🚨 Earlier this year, I was commissioned to make a piece of work in response to Queer Natures; a collaborative research project led by Dr Ina Linge at the University of Exeter. Me and @brid.ac teamed up to try and grapple with some of our thoughts about eels and turn them into a short audio piece about trans-ness, embracing the unknown and dismantling some of the ‘truths’ we’ve let ourselves be defined by without our consent. We have three million thoughts about eels so this is hopefully only the beginning. 🌱 We were also incredibly lucky to be able to talk to Matthew Gollock, who has a PhD in eels and is the Aquatic Species and Policy Programme Lead at ZSL. I met Matt completely by coincidence right after I was commissioned to make this piece because evidently the eels are in fact calling all the shots and wanted to make sure there was an expert on hand to properly represent them. If you are intrigued by these little snippets, please follow the link in my bio to listen to the full piece and read a little bit more about the work. Honestly, everyone needs to know about the eels. Not least because me and Brid need more people to talk to about them.

“If you think romance is ahead, you never were more mistaken… Do you feel the ground swell? Do you feel the earthquake?” Yorkshire, 1811. A village is tearing apart at the seams. A global force of progress and fear, raging like a tidal wave. A woman, less flesh and more lightning. A worker, starved for a voice. A migrant mill owner, with “forward” stamped on his soul. And the heart that holds them all - whose beat can change the rhythm of a revolution. Shirley: An Awakening is an new gig-musical reimagining of Charlotte Brontë’s novel. A hymn of resistance and a howl for change. An archipelago arts collective production in association with Leeds Industrial Museum. In development - more info coming soon.
