NON SHOWS
GUIDE TO THE PERFECT DINNER PARTYThe Non Applicables cordially invite you to experience ‘Guide To The Perfect Dinner Party’. Seasoned in the art of homemaking, Sian and Fenella will be serving up their version of handy hosting tips, home touches and what they think a three course meal entails. Their guide on homemaking and hosting will put the likes of Hyacinth Bucket to shame.
The serving staff were sullen, unhelpful and in some cases downright rude. Our hosts were condescending, more concerned with upstaging each other, than presenting themselves or the art of dinner party hosting, with any due respect.” - Michelle Dee, Concerned Diner |

XXXLWelcome Sian and Fenella, two women with an axe to grind on body hang ups, the dieting industry, social norms and crooked food values. Some of the sequences are close up, too close at times and others require you just to gaze whilst they put their own bodies and insecurities under the harsh gaze of the audience and each other. 'XXXL' invites people in, sometimes alerts the audience but mostly ends up touching people in ways none of us like to admit when looking in the mirror.

WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?
We present to you ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It?’ an exploration into the realms of love with all its possibilities and ugly pitfalls. The piece touches on personal experiences of romance, whether we find it on apps, in bars, how we get people into bed, the rejection and sex.
Fenella and Sian whip you through a series of gender bending fragmented experiences and light hearted episodes that observes social etiquette and the fundamental rules of courting. The work takes inspiration from many sources but one which features heavily is the animal kingdom. We perform a ‘Mating Dance’ which is inspired from the bird of paradise’s calling ritual. A ‘first date’ explores the tender nuances of body language and communication between two (guerrilla) masked strangers in a club. This is followed by a ‘Sex Camp’ lecture demonstration of Karma Sutra positions - specifically designed for people in long term relationships. Between each vignette, Fenella and Sian peel off costumes, make up, switch character (and often gender) to prepare themselves for a new scenario. After rattling through the plethora of characters, situations and costumes, what’s left is Fenella and Sian. With no makeup, costume or character to hide behind, Fenella and Sian finally tell you their own experiences of love and where they are today. What’s Love brings together a mix of movement, text and a collection of the greatest love songs. |
