Residency 27th April - 2nd May
Performance 6pm, 2nd May, SVA Gallery
Corpsing theatre company present: Diorama a new play developed during a week long residency at SVA. The play uses Corpsing's signature style of spacialising indoor and outdoor space, using montage, dance, and comedy to create a gestalt story exploring edges of the human condition.
Corpsing Theatre Company, led by Middleton Maddocks, creates experimental, collaborative works that blur the boundaries between performance, autofiction, and everyday life. Previous shows include Substantive Archival Challenges, which observed an all-male guerrilla theatre troupe putting on clandestine productions. Collaboratively, Maddocks and the performers explored surveillance, Stanislavsky, content creation, archetypes, and pagan folk plays, building a playful world where the Id is unleashed, analysed, and reordered.
Middleton Maddocks is an artist working in various modalities. Their practice spans mapping, language, nonsense-making, and symbolic personal histories. Middleton completed their BA at Goldsmiths in 2023 and a residency at Open School East 2024.
