Lisa Gornick brings us her live drawing and cross-art form show about her Grandma Ray, an Eastender who sometimes went posh and the special secret they both shared.
A comic and poignant show merging 1920s and 1990s London and the experiences of two women trying to find their way in a patriarchal set up.
This show explores family, queerness, and identity through Lisa’s unique lens of live drawing and cross-art form.
This show was first performed in 2015 at the Betsey Trotwood and the Soho Theatre before going to the Edinburgh Fringe (Gilded Balloon)
An autobiographical portrait, Drawing on the Bottle, is an intimate exploration of the good and bad drinker – and finding compassion for both. What happens when we fall in too deep and how do we escape its toxic hold?
A personal live drawing show about filmmaking – drawing on film history and my own filmmaking.
Lisa Gornick first film Do I Love You? launched in 2003 was about the lesbian label, and then she became a lesbian filmmaker. And the film industry wanted her. Is it a good idea to be pinned down by a label?
Lisa will explore this question as she revives her show that started life in 2017 and brings it up to date with her present and future as a (lesbian) filmmaker.
This show has an international life starting out in The Barbican Cinema, London then onto Kino Babylon, Berlin; Filmhouse Northampton; The National Museum of Cinema, Turin, Dortmund/Cologne International Women’s Film Festival and Komedia, Brighton.
Inspired by the Oscar-winning 1950 film All About Eve, written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and starring Bette Davis, this new live drawing performance offers a bold, alternative reflection on fame, age and love.
In this one-woman show, award-winning filmmaker and performer Lisa Gornick takes one of her favourite films as a starting point for a playful re-imagining. Embodying all the characters, she will create her own response to this classic film
Using pen, pastel, watercolour, voice and music, Gornick builds a hand-made “DIY cinema” live on stage — stripping back the glamour to reveal the raw sketch beneath.
Set against the backdrop of 1950s expectations — when success and fulfilment for women were defined by marriage — The Many Faces of Eve revisits and redraws those narratives with wit, alternative viewpoints and a bold new enquiry.
