Calm Down, Dear: A Festival of Feminism - Pretty Ugly Girl And A Gun, A Pretty/UglyCalm Down, Dear: A Festival of Feminism - Pretty Ugly
Synopsis:
This show is about you rating me based solely on my looks. It is also about a recent worldwide trend of teenage girls posting videos on YouTube asking viewers to rate their looks, and about my trail of research into the world of the teenage social networker in 2013 - to try and understand why.
Notes:
An electrifying and urgent theatre event, developed on CPT's Starting Blocks scheme and now receiving its full premiere. As a teenage girl myself, this show resonated pretty deeply with me. I think it would with anyone who has ever been a teenage girl, or has known a teenage girl, or has seen the medias opinion of teenage girls, or has been on the internet. At the risk of sparking commenter fury: this is why we need feminism review of Pretty Ugly work-in-progress performance at Sampled festival, May 2013

Synopsis:
This show is about you rating me based solely on my looks. . . It is also about a recent worldwide trend of teenage girls posting videos on YouTube asking viewers to rate their looks. Pretty/Ugly follows Louises trail of research into how Generation YouTube uses the ever widening field of social networking to reach others. There is a live YouTube experiment, some Britney, a tender and inappropriate love story, and some of her childhood toys. It is about our obsessions, and pretensions, and teenage girls but dont let that put you off. It is about you, me and the internet.
