More about "I Am" by Samuel Beckett, performed and adapted by Jess Thom
Jess Thom has Tourettes, a condition that means she makes movements and noises she can't control, called tics. Following the award-winning “Backstage In Biscuit Land,” she takes on Samuel Beckett's short play in a theatrical experience that explores neurodiversity and asks, who is allowed to perform what and who gets the final say? All performances are accompanied by an ASL interpreter/performer and are Relaxed. This means that if you tic, shout, or move about, you're more than welcome. And the great thing is, everyone can benefit from a Relaxed performance.

There are a lot of things that our bodies do that are mostly outside our control. Blinking. Breathing. Our hearts beating. For Jess Thom, there's also saying 'biscuit.' Or 'hedgehog.' Or thumping her chest, hard, over and over. Or uttering flights of ridiculous, wonderful, surreal fantasy, that feel like itching powder in her blood until they get out.
