Don't be Afraid...

The Freaky first performance art piece by Mr & Mrs Newman. Inspired by Universal Frankenstein, silent movies and the awkward pauses of A Jess Franco film (without the perverted deviancy, this was a family friendly show), Mrs Newman played Dr Frankenstein / the Bride of Frankentein, Mr Newman played the Creature... 

Part of Collaborasaurus a fantastically waywood performance art show at Vivid curated by Alex Billingham. The event was documented by Marcin Sz.

Also featuring performances by: Emily Scarrott & Tom Kilby, Marcud Keating & Friends, David Checkley & Aleksandere Wojtulewicz. We were delighted and challenged to take part.  (And both as stiff as the tin man afterwards) 

Hope it didn’t creep y’all out…
