We wanted to show a female cyclist POV in Look, No Hands, so we popped a 360 degree camera on a harness on one of the Velociposse members to film live footage during a cycling tour of London Monuments – and that’s what audiences will see projected in the play. What have you learned about Post Traumatic Growth, and how do you hope to share that with audiences? A legendary meme, one of the few speculated to have been directly graced by the hands of creation itself. Many will attempt to use this phrase primarily in reference to the Biking maneuver, in which an individual will remove both of their hands from the handle bars and proceed to (impressively) pilot their vehicle. Like most memes, the true power of this phrase lies in the awareness/intellect of the person observing it - and the intent of the user. To truly begin to understand such a powerful, seemingly subjective string of words, one must understand the implications of the phrase.
I'm quite happy with people having hybrid working, it's a nice thing, but there was just not enough footfall and then everyone who is around is starting to feel the pinch."

As we mentioned, last year, the show had a successful run at Pleasance, London. However, the 2021 planned Edinburgh Fringe production was cancelled due to uncertainty around Covid19. This was a great disappointment to the whole creative team, as it limited the show’s potential to reach wider audiences and cut short the possibility to establish the new partnerships and exposure that the Fringe offers to artists at our career stage. The lad grinned cheerfully, and cycled up the road again. The next time his mother saw him, his feet were swinging loose in the air. On Wednesday (8th February), partners Lewin Chalkley, Matthew Harper, and Sam Humpheson announced that the café in Old Street, Islington had closed after 13 years of business.
The campaign takes place along the length of the M6, the longest motorway in the country, and so has been labelled Operation Vertebrae. I started seeing parallels with the global trauma we were all experiencing; identity, life choices, relationships all came into question for many people, as they do in this play – and as they did for me during 2020. Taking the time to reassess what I wanted to do and what stories I wanted to tell, was key to sharing this story of hope and survival within the current climate. What ’s been the biggest challenge for youin translating this story for the stage? More than 28,100 offences have been recorded by police partners in Operation Tramline since its launch in 2015. The most common offences are not wearing a seatbelt (8,375); using a mobile phone (7,163) and not being in proper control of a vehicle (2,083). The unmarked HGV cabs are now being used as part of a multi-agency Week of Action on the M6, taking place from Monday 13 June to Sunday 19 June, which aims to reduce the number of incidents on the motorway. Directed by Anna Ryder, this is a very intimate production that is focused and detailed in every way. This piece incites us to ask questions of ourselves, assess how we can make things better and regain our freedom...” ~ West End Best FriendThis uplifting play speaks to anyone who’s experienced an event that has shaken their world. Look, No Hands is a story about hope and survival, the female cycling experience, Post Traumatic Growth and how we rebuild in the face of adversity. Edinburgh itself is a well know ‘cycling city’ and we will reach out to the cycling community there, particularly female cyclists and their experiences in a male dominated sport and hobby. Overall, we hope to share the joy of cycling! From their elevated viewpoint in the unmarked HGV cabs, police officers are able to spot people driving dangerously – whatever vehicle they may be in. Consequences for drivers range from warnings to fixed penalty notices, court summons or arrest.
This new one person play is inspired by a real life cycling collision Lila experienced in 2010. Exploring the female identifying cycling experienceand the phenomenon known as Post Traumatic Growth, Look, No Hands has been made in partnership with the fantastic female and non-binary cycling club . When Vee embarks on her cycling commute, she has no idea she’ll never make it home. Appearing in Court to face the driver - suffering from amnesia, armed only with her hospital notes, a surprise appearance on 24 Hours in A&E and a bag of ripped clothes - she tries to piece together what happened to her that day. But what she can’t work out is why something so awful... can make her feel so fantastic. The types of behaviour identified are typically those of a minority of motorists and whilst the number of people still using their mobile phone at the wheel or not wearing a seatbelt is disappointing, thanks to the Tramline HGVs we’ve been able to stop people who could have caused serious harm on the road.

Brain Gault is a survivor having been born without arms. He details his early childhood in a loving family. He is continually frustrated by the authorities attempting to force him to wear prosthetics which are cumbersome and cause injury. Until he reaches his teenage years and finally throws off the burden once and for all by refusing to wear them. It reminded me of David casting off Saul's heavy armour in favour of his slingshot. Much of the book is devoted to these frustrations and how he manages them. After returning the essence of Ares to the God of War, speak to him again to receive two additional side quests. One of these quests is titled "Hot Pot" which tasks you with returning a pot to Ares. I happen to already have this in my inventory, but you may have to complete the fetch quest first. He later realises that his mother loves him just as he is, but you can understand why he should doubt this. Later he describes his desire to 'be himself' rather than be forced to wear artificial limbs that restrict his abilities rather than enhance them. This reminds me of the need to retain the patient's perspective of interventions, as we cannot assume that our own normality is preferable. Brian Gault eventually gives up artificial limbs at 13, the same year that he discovers Jesus loves him. Accessibility. We want to make Look, No Hands as accessible as possible, so these funds will go towards paying for a BSL interpreter for a performance during the run.
