Morag Galloway will premiere her autobiographical one-woman-show, Dog Daze, in this year’s festival. Dog Daze explores the narratives we create for ourselves over a lifetime and weaves together themes connected to illness (personal and societal), endometriosis, motherhood and menopause, ageing, generational trauma, neurodivergence, and agency. The work fuses original words and music, Shakespeare’s soliloquies, dance, voice and a backing track. Morag is a Senior Lecturer in Music and Musical Theatre at York St. John University, UK. She is a composer, performer, and director specialising in collaborative contemporary music theatre and her music is published by the University of York Music Press. Morag’s research explores collaborative and embodied processes, where close relationships are formed with co-creators and diverse communities, resulting in therapeutic creative experiences. Currently she is engaging with autoethnographic creative practice research for live performance and academic publication exploring the interrelationship of autobiography, psychotherapy, and narrative medicine using both the body and viola as medium, material and voice.
