We are The Two Ma’am Show - a duo collective that works with digital and live
performance - described as ‘A polyamorous marriage of humorous humour,
comical comedy, satirical satire, and glossy, glamorous glam.’ Our first video

culture, often achieved through chroma keying techniques.

Through working in a variety of contexts and different mediums, I create spaces

I am an autobiographical performance maker. I create performative workshops
that audiences can interact with, as well as share the autobiographical narrative
together. Currently, my work is about the obsessive-compulsive behaviours I
have experienced, starting from the early signs in childhood to my current state.
Mental health and neurodiversity feature throughout my performance work and
writing. I create work to raise awareness and form dialogues around human
behaviours which are often overlooked.

ANTONIA EUGENIE
ARTIST & CURATOR

I am a mixed media artist working with video, photography, installation and
performance for camera. My work is rooted in the themes of feminism,
emotionality and psychology. The human body, tactility, haptic visuality and
emotional response feature prominently within my pieces and are used as both
aesthetic choices and also employed as mediums in their own right. My work
stems from a personal-political place, often serving as a direct launch pad for
many of my projects.

LUCIA PAZZINI
PERFORMANCE ARTIST

I work across the mediums of live art, theatre and installation using art to create
uncomfortable situations that could open new channels of possibilities in our
over-controlled lives. With grotesque intersections between trash, sex and
glamour, my work is irreverently feminist and reflects the necessity of reclaiming
agency and navigate late capitalism with tactical vulnerability and awkwardness.
I have recently shown work at Dice Festival, Summerhall (Edinburgh 2018) and
Queer Migrant Takeover Party, Rich Mix (London 2018).

JESSIE VELTHUIS
PHYSICAL THEATRE ARTIST

My work could best be described as a form of physical theatre. It consistently
involves heavy use of movement and sound, but bleeds into various themes
and styles, using a mix of clowning, mime and dance to create absurd situations
and distorted realities, which are somehow still recognisable as everyday life
experiences. Most of my inspiration comes from our Western society and its
rather questionable social norms. I want the people who come to see my work
to both laugh out loud and question their own sanity - we are social creatures.

MADELEINE YOUNG
SCENIC ARTIST

I enjoy working in theatre, from fringe to the West End, both as a painter and in
more managerial roles. I am very interested in gaining more experience working
in other areas, especially murals, theming and festivals, and prop fabrication. I
also have experience in the restoration of fine art pieces and interiors, and art
fabrication, and I am keen to explore these fields further. My work is informed
by my interest in fine art, art history and period architecture.

VERITY POWELL
PROP MAKER & SCULPTOR

Coming from a background in design and illustration has given me an
explorative taste for making, along with a deep passion for texture and form.
Through this, I have developed a large repertoire of prop making skills, with
a particular flair for sculpting and paint effects. I have had work experience
making large-scale sculpture for Warner Brothers and the BBC, as well as mould
making at Howling Hands and display painting for the Conran Shop.

SARAH-JANE ROBERTS
MAKER & DESIGNER

Over the last few years, I have developed myself as a versatile maker. I have
enjoyed working on a range of projects, in particular props that have required a
high level of realism. I am keen to take on more projects of a similar nature, with
a personal preference for props with historical influences that require a degree
of research and design interpretation. As a set designer, I have worked closely
with youth theatre and have had the experience of engaging with young people
in the making process.
