FUSE
by Jessica Mensah, Bronte Thomasson and Sophie Bartholomew,
PATS studio, University of Surrey
2019
“Plantain, Jerk Chicken and Cornbeef hash…” Fuse explores and celebrates race and identity amongst three women of different races, through spoken word, music, and dance.
"A brilliantly devised and thoughtful performance that engaged us all right from the beginning and left us with much to discuss about race, culture and identity"
"It was very insightful, powerful & thought-provoking"
"It was like you guys were pulling out hidden judgements I've had about other races, that I didn't even notice"
"It had us all evaluating how we've felt being an object of racial stereotypes but ALSO how we can have the wrong perspectives"
"Fun and enjoyable to watch but with deep roots into modern day social problems"
