Pieces of Us

Created by Guildhall School students
Jude Christian dramaturg

Pieces of Us is a kaleidoscopic series of short, stand-alone solo performance works created by Guildhall School students.

Written, directed and performed by the students in lockdown isolation across the world, these original performances will provide a unique and deeply personal snapshot of the diverse range of stories, artistry and lived experiences that exist within Guildhall’s student community.

Conceived, written and performed by final-year Acting students, produced by Stage Management students and featuring original music created by Electronic and Produced Music students, Pieces of Us showcases the extraordinary skills of students from across all three Guildhall faculties.

Pieces of Us was filmed and edited by Guildhall Acting students in a variety of environments, using a range of recording equipment. Support was provided remotely by Guildhall staff and in-person from members of their household/bubble in accordance with lockdown restrictions. The films reflect these disparate filming conditions, as well as the shared artistic endeavour and ambition of the students.

Throughout the creation process, students have been supported by acclaimed writer, director and theatre maker Jude Christian, Artistic Associate at the Gate Theatre, and Lizzie Donaghy and Debra Tidd, stage management advisors.
