Pam Wood is an emotional rollercoaster in a merry-go-round world. She’s a 67 year-old red-cordial-level extrovert, with a bunch of complex mental health diagnoses and death-defying resilience. Literally.Pam has never performed before. But now she must. It turns out her audaciously unorthodox life has been one, giant creative development towards this defining moment in which she will finally find her voice. On stage. In front of a live audience.
Dys-Order-Ed is an autobiographical solo show about owning who you are with guts and grace. It is about speaking up and reclaiming your trauma, no matter your age or how your brain works. It is, like Pam, a micro rebellion in a world that misunderstands difference. Exploring themes of sexual abuse, suicide, ageism, medical mayhem, and late-blooming sexuality, Dys-Order-Ed is a disruptor on multiple fronts, daring us to challenge our personal and societal beliefs around what it means to be ‘in order.’ And not wait til it’s too late to do so.
In this deconstructed theatre experiment, pretty much anything could happen. Think tear-soaked comedy confessional, neuro-spicy narratives and spiritual enlightenment with a strong dose of choose-your-own-adventure ADHD antics (including pass the parcel!) Pam will share the raw and real of her most tumultuous life events, plus those unbelievable moments that leave you feeling utterly grateful to be alive. She is a fierce force for love that will get your heart beating (and racing!)
Co-created and directed by multi-award-winning artist, Andi Snelling, Dys-Order-Ed is an opportunity to experience the hard won wisdom of a life lived large before Pammy’s time runs out.
