Daydream T.V by Neil Price

Tue 2 June 11:30-12:30* / 15:00-16:00
Venue: Lyceum Studio

* BSL interpreted performance

Daydream T.V is a contemporary dance-theatre solo work-in-progress led by Neil Price, that explores his love of the TV show Neighbours. Neil has grown up alongside Neighbours, imagining himself in it every time he watches it. Through collaboration with 21Common, this work will bring to life Neil’s own personal tales alongside Joseph Robinson, a character in the show Neil has created. Neil embodies both figures, who are opposites yet intertwined. By blurring imagination and reality, our perception of the person who stands before us is challenged. 

Neil is a professional dance artist who has performed with inclusive dance charity Indepen-dance since 2006. Daydream T.V is his first solo self-led project, which will be written, choreographed, directed and performed by himself.

PALS is a musical theatre piece for young audiences led by Ellen Renton, about a lifelong friendship between two young girls, one sighted and one visually impaired, told through text, song, and movement. The creative team includes both visually impaired and sighted members who will work together to create a performance space that de-centres vision for an audience rarely considered in work for young audiences even within inclusive theatre.

Ellen is a poet, performer, and theatre maker based in Edinburgh.  She has worked with Imaginate before as a Jerwood Fellow and lead artist on a number of projects.  PALS is an Unlimited UK Partner Award 2025 commission with Imaginate.
