OMG YOLO so CBA WIV LOL'in' //

(oh my god, you only live once 

so I can't be arsed with laughing out loud)​



'OMG YOLO SO CBA WIV LOL'in' is a very personal attack on the virtual world we all admire and have a very OPEN RELATIONSHIP to. This piece will once and for all stamp a DISLIKE thumbs down under all our virtual affections and follies, will refuse to HASHTAG our randomness, will no longer LIKE, COMMENT or SUBSCRIBE, will shove YOUR-TUBE up FACEBOOK'S TWITTER so far he'll see BEBO and really stick to the man... APPLE Inc!

 

A comic dance theatre piece which hopes to merely drag people away from their smart phones, actually be around human contact and in an ironic way cruelly mirror how we all are 2 mouse clicks away from saying goodbye to a real world.



The development of this piece was a professional outreach programme for undergraduate students from the Yorkshire area. The development also involved the training and development of 3 youth performers.
