Episode 6 :: Selina Thompson :: salt.
Selina Thompson met me in Birmingham to discuss her show salt., which retraces the route of the Transatlantic slave triangle from the UK to Ghana, to Jamaica, and back. We explore why Selina felt compelled to make both that journey and this show about colonialism’s billowing, global impacts. We discuss the importance of dramaturgy, collaboration, music, and time for writing, and we hear a bit about her next project, featuring Missy Elliott. salt. is at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from 5-26 August, 2017, and touring. It is directed by Dawn Walton; the producer is Emma Beverley; design by Katherina Radeva; sound design by Tanuja Amarasuriya. http://selinathompson.co.uk/
