On Barren Hill (work in progress) is at @brightonfringe @btnseafront Old Net Loft this Thursday 21st May and Saturday 23rd May!

Experience a dreamlike, expressive, multidisciplinary, distinctive and ultimately hopeful dance-theatre-opera piece exploring the relationship with diverse landscapes across Europe through the lens of childlessness, infertility and loss.

All set to a riveting and atmospheric soundtrack with photographic projections and lyrical text.

You really don’t need to have lived experience of the topic to enjoy this show. Its previous scratches have been shown to general audiences to enthusiastic feedback:

“Different to anything I’ve ever seen before- a beautiful mix of abstract and direct; movement and stillness. The use of natural imagery made me think about and connect it all, to the Romantic idea of the Natural Sublime- nature as god.. ‘Mother Earth as both nurturing and formidable’,
Emily Gosling, Journalist and Musician

Also exciting to have the talented@lucy_andrina and @sallybutcher doing Q&As (1 on each show)

I want to say a big thank you to @southeastdance for supportive conversations and much needed R&D space, @fertilitynetworkuk for helping publicise the co-creation workshops and who will be in attendance for signposting on the nights of the events. Also huge thanks to @highlandbndry who make delicious nature inspired drinks and have contributed some of their delicious Scot’s pine syrup for the complementary cocktails and mocktails…

And most of all the wonderful people I’ve met and collaborated with through the co-creation workshops.

Everyone loves the Mackerel Fayre 🐟🐟

Join us this Sunday 17th May from 12.30-2.30pm for a fun afternoon for all the family - there will be sea shanties from @seafordbaywreckers & hilarious improvised fun from @noisenextdoor as well as a visit from @mayorofbrightonandhove - plus don’t miss the Blessing of the Nets and more! ✨

Before the story begins, we greet.

In Yoruba tradition, paying homage is not a formality.
It is the foundation. Before you start anything, you acknowledge the people in the room, the owners of the land, the ones who came before you. It is how Adunni Alaalo enters every space she performs in.

This is Paying Homage. And it happens before every single show.

Brighton Fringe, 23 to 25 May. Old Net Loft, Brighton Seafront. 5:30pm. Tickets at £10, link in bio.

As the star of a Brighton Fringe Award-winning production in 2023, I am returning to Brighton Fringe once again, this time with Reminiscing with Adunni Alaalo.

From May 23 to 25, I will be bringing a live Yoruba oral storytelling experience to the Brighton seafront, filled with stories, rhythm, riddles, music, memory, call and response, and the spirit of gathering together.

This is not a show you simply watch.
It is something you become part of.

Because Yoruba storytelling has never belonged behind a screen or at a distance. It belongs in a live room. Between voices. Between people.

📍 Old Net Loft, Brighton Seafront
🗓 May 23–25, 2026 | 5:30pm nightly
🎟 £10 — link in bio

Come and experience storytelling the way it was always meant to be lived.
