we meet in the woods
an interactive theatre game exploring systems of co-creation and consensus building, beginning in a forest.Elinor is a writer, director, theatremaker and participatory artist living and working in Bristol, UK. Across multiple disciplines which orbit theatre and performance as well as non-live art forms, their work wrestles with and celebrates text, archive, rules, tenderness, joy, risk and teamwork.
As one of the Studio's 2024 Winter Residency artists, they are developing we meet in the woods, a place-based multiplayer theatrical game exploring forest intelligence and the ways in which tactile technology such as vibration or sensors embedded in the landscape can make collaboration irresistible, and remind us of the parts of ourselves we have forgotten.
They are the co-director of Haunting Ashton Court— an interdisciplinary project exploring collective history-making—with poet Jack Young.
