Rachel Miller has
entranced audiences across the UK with her solo
shows, performing at theatres, arts and literature
festivals, conferences, Jungian lectures and for
radio.
In her performances she
plays a wide variety of musical instruments. Using
modern digital sound technology she is able to
record and loop the sounds, live on stage, and
with this she builds up evocative and beautiful
textures of music and sounds that conjure the images
and emotions of a tale.
The tales are told through a lyrical poetic narrative
and the result is a powerful, exciting and spellbinding
show.
Reviews and Audience Comments
‘I was overwhelmed by the power of
the total environment she is able to create
for her stories. They are conveyed not only
in words but in the remarkable imagery of sound.
Sound is so skilfully woven into the words
that the story comes alive to all the senses.
I felt both transported and transformed by
the experience’
Mary
Booker, Dramatherapist, Trainer on the MA in Dramatherapy at The School of Dramatherapy, Exeter
'A mesmerising, hypnotic
performance which transports you to another plane.
Storytelling at it’s
finest’
Barbican Theatre, Plymouth
'A captivating storyteller, creating a
rich and atmospheric world, mysterious and delightful'
Sharon Gal, Resonance 104.4FM Radio, London
'Rachel Miller makes Jung's concept of the collective unconscious alive, through a musical and narrative landscape that shimmers with the power of the archetype. She captures the essence of myth and fairy tale in her powerful performance and brings vitality to arcane patterns of being and behaviour that nestle in the cultural consciousness of fairytales and myths.
The music tingles with archetypal image - those who are drawn to experience the imaginative through music should not miss this.'
Penny Norris, Jungian Analyst, Author and organiser of Jung Winter Lecture Series
