In this special edition of Talking Out Your Arts we talk to the creative team behind Shock Therapy’s latest show, Locked In.  Sam and Hayden chat with director Veronica Neave and performer Hsin-Ju Ely about the inspiration behind the work, their own professional backgrounds and the process of task based devising and fusing theatre and contemporary dance.  

 

Locked In is a multidisciplinary, physical performance exploring human connection, communication and our sensory and extrasensory experience of the physical world.

Locked In follows the experience of a man who is a prisoner inside a useless body and his wife who cares for him at his bedside. The scene shifts between the harsh and painful reality of the hospital bed and the vibrant, heightened reality of his internal World. It takes its inspiration from two true stories “Ghost Boy” by Martin Pistorius and “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” by Jean-Dominique Bauby who both shared their experiences of living with Locked-In Syndrome in memoir.


This season of Locked In was supported by Queensland Theatre and is showing in the Diane Cilento Studio at Queensland Theatre between the 1st-11th Dec, 2021.
