Series 4, Episode 8: Camille Dawson and Cristina Ottonello
Camille Dawson is a critically acclaimed comedy writer, performer and director. She is founder and Artistic Director of Frisky Arts. Camille has a multi art, anarchic and comedic style. The War Inside is inspired by her experience of struggling with autoimmune disease. The show shines a light on invisible illness, and takes the audience on a wild ride, inside the body. Alongside the show, The Tapestry of Imperfections is a collaboration with the public. This community artwork is a celebration of the growth and strength we develop by going through the imperfect moments of life.
