'Eleanor'

Bex has worked many long hours to help create 'Eleanor' and we are super proud to be going to the first private viewing tonight! A cinematic installation directed by Alex Warren and Tobias Ross-Southall entitled 'Eleanor', opens it's doors tonight for a month long show at The Cob Theatre in Camden. This split screen film shows 3 different perspectives on how, even in a busy city like London, it's easy to feel alone sometimes. With very clever timing and story telling, you are taken through the lives of 3 women living in London. Toby and Alex approached three of the country’s finest young writers – Polly Stenham, Michael Lesslie and Anya Reiss – to interpret three original source poems. Not only have the guys been writing, directing, producing and creating this whole film, but together with The Cob Theatre's charity, they have brought in young creatives to work with them throughout the project. The Cob Theatre's charity invites students within the borough of Camden to view 'Eleanor' and respond with their own piece – in whatever form, from painting to poetry to film. The work will form an exhibition and be judged by a panel including Matt Smith and Sunday Times art critic, Waldemar Januszczak. The score for the film features music by Blaine Harrison from The Mystery Jets and Johnny Lloyd formerly of Tribes, whilst also featuring a collaboration with Romany Pajdak and Kristen McNally from The Royal Ballet. 'Eleanor' is supported by Creative England and the BFI, as well as a number of private donors and creative funder, IdeasTap.
