WHITE SUN
‘Something about White Sun stays with you long after you leave the room. It poses questions and gives no answers; shimmers with humour and exhausts you with problems; feels important and tells you that it isn’t. Dickie is remarkable while being remarkably imperfect.’
Buzz Mag, Cardiff
A lo-fi solo symphony of words and movement. Personal and political. Unsettling, humorous and delightfully strange. White Sun collides with the past in the here and now of a human nervous system.
Supported by Arts Council England, Works Ahead with Word of Warning & Contact Theatre, and Camden People's Theatre. White Sun has toured to over 12 venues, including DiG Festival at Glasgow Tramway, The Place London, and The Blue Room Theatre in Western Australia.
'Poetic, creatively ambitious and raw, this work is a rare gift; unlike anything you might expect'

TEAM OF THE DECADES
'Team of the Decades is a unique, exhilarating and deeply moving performance experience. Will's approach to autobiography and masculinity is unlike anything I have ever seen. He is a spectacular image maker.'
Rosana Cade, Live Artist
WHAT AM I DOING THIS FOR?
'It’s one of the most honest, refreshing, political & pleasurable 40 minutes I’ve spent in a theatre for some time.'
'Will is a beautiful performer and at the end of the sharing I’m left wanting to be quiet and think about it all. I know what he’s doing it for - it’s for me, and you and all of us - it’s a small voice in a big complex world.'
"A fascinating & fearless quest to excavate a more authentic sense of self, of being."
Audience Responses from early work in progress
10 audience, 1 coach and 1 captain, not playing to win or lose, playing with relationships :

collisions and hugs.
Team of the Decades was supported by Battersea Arts Centre and toured with them across the UK. Including: Being A Man Festival Southbank Centre LDN, InBetweenTime Bristol, The Blue Room Theatre, WA.
I strongly urge you to watch White Sun, it is a phenomenal, interesting, and endearing work of art in all aspects. It is an incredibly personal piece of art not only for Will Dickie, but for anyone who is, in some way or another, the product of the English colonial efforts.
