INTERVIEW: LUCY MORRISON

The Artistic Associate at the Almeida Theatre tells Sophie Reynolds about the Almeida Festival 2012. Now an annual event showcasing emerging artists and companies, this year’s programme includes new works by Inspector Sands, Greyscale, Custom/Practice, and the Young Friends of the Almeida. Recorded at the Almeida, 9 July 2012.

Because theatre’s a live experience we have to embrace spontaneity and surprise, and some of that comes in the approach to making the work.
