Alyssa Martin sits down to speak with Nicole Inica Hamilton about her Rock Bottom's new work, Big Time Miss.
In Alyssa Martin’s new full-length creation Big Time Miss a group of funny people are forced to dissolve their clownish selves in favour of their lush emotional interiors, as they navigate the turbulence of their real lives. A multi-Dora Award winner, Alyysa is best known for her tongue-in-cheek approach to dance making. She creates stage works that demand that you not look away, despite feeling unsure of what it is you are looking at. She and her ensemble approach all that they do with high-energy mischief and deep consideration for the audiences who come to play. We sat down with Alyssa to discuss the inspirations behind Big Time Miss, history of Rock Bottom Movement and intersections of memory.
