17OPEN | Ellie Harrison: The Etiquette of Grief

17OPEN | Ellie Harrison: The Etiquette of Grief

Performance

Etiquette of Grief is a step-by-step guide for how to cope with bereavement. Thousands of people have struggled to cope with the deaths of Princess Diana, Jade Goody, Michael Jackson and even occasionally their own loved ones. Ellie knows it can be difficult to express feelings of anger, sadness and loss. She would like to provide some moral support, some Dutch courage and perhaps even a little musical accompaniment to help you at this testing time.

With inspiring messages from her digital alter-ego, Ellie’s distinctive brand of solo performance compares our personal and public responses to grief through song, filmic re-enactments and a little help from the audience.

Etiquette of Grief is supported by Arts Council England, University of Leeds through Incubator, Theatre in the Mill and Leeds Met Gallery & Studio Theatre.

This performance is followed by a post-show discussion.
