#41 The Feminine Lineage; Naomi Smyth and an alternative route to Fooling

Nonsense in the Chaos

I first met Naomi through working at Glastonbury Festival putting together the performative elements and installations for Shangri-la, the late night part of the festival, or the naughty corner, as we like to call it. We had worked together for a couple of days before we clocked that we were both fools and it all suddenly made so much sense. I’ve been interested to learn more about Naomi’s story and arts practices for some time now, so interviewing her for the podcast was a great opportunity for finding out more about her world.

Naomi is a PhD researcher at Bath Spa University, focusing on the creative and technological responses of theatre artists to COVID restrictions. She’s an immersive theatre writer, director and performer with experience as an independent filmmaker and freelance videographer. Based in and around Bristol, she’s spent years working with Bristol born arts collectives like Shangri-la, Boomtown and the Invisible Circus.
