Adam Kammerling - Shall We Take This Outside

A considered and impactful new work, Shall We Take This Outside is Adam Kammerling’s exploration of his own violence; where it found him, why he embraced it, and how it affects him today. As Adam moves through his memories, we discover the myriad ways that violence bleeds into everyday real-life, from hierarchies in the classroom, pub and street, to flippant rejections of feminism, equality and any form of social movement deemed a threat to the status quo.

A spoken word theatre piece animated by two acrobatic dancers; Eric Mitchell and Jacob Smart give physical form to the stories, manipulating Adam and the space, bringing a striking visual impact to the spoken word. The sound-track is equal parts classic pomp and heroism, and electronic, grime-inspired instrumentals, a reference to both the content of the show, and to Adam’s background as an MC.

A massive development for Adam, Shall We Take This Outside takes an important step from the spoken word circuit into longer forms, and a full collaboration with physical artists. The subject matter and the form marry to create an amorphous space from which explosions of physical activity burst, and then swiftly spiral back into the simpler focus of spoken word, poetry and storytelling.

Shall We Take This Outside is created with kind support from Arts Council England, The Albany and Apples And Snakes.
