All That Glitters
2023Artists: Tom Jackson Greaves, Ciaran Clarke
I delivered the sound design and recording for Tom Jackson Greaves’ solo show, ‘All That Glitters’.
A year ago Cornish performer and director Tom Jackson Greaves (Kneehigh, Matthew Bourne, Watermill) cared more about finding the best flat white, than finding out what was happening in the underground mines of Cornwall. But now Tom’s back in his homeland with a new perspective and a story to tell. Something’s coming and it could put Cornwall firmly back on the global map.
‘All That Glitters’ is end-of-the-pier meets Brokeback Mountain. It’s a Cornish millennial going deep underground to share something fiercely fabulous and funny. You’ll leave thinking about home, the future and all that is human.
Commissioned by Arts and Culture, University of Exeter, this is just the start of a collaboration between academics, students, local people and miners. In association with imPOSSIBLE Producing, Camborne School of Mines, AMATA Falmouth Uni and East Pool Mine National Trust.
