“Circus” – Edie Jackson (Drama)
Adapted fromI Could Use a Drink, lyrics by Drew Gasparini.
Originally a song, this piece has been reimagined as a monologue. It follows the story of a young girl suffering from a split personality disorder, as the “other” personality begins to mimic negative behaviour for attention.

This binary-structured dance explores the duality of self, shifting from fragile vulnerability in private to a confident, decisive persona in public.

Original monologue inspired by the journey of my grandfather from war-torn Yugoslavia to Australia. It captures trauma, displacement, and survival, asking: What does it mean to leave everything behind and truly belong?
