Donna Rutherford has been creating theatre and video work since 1990 crossing the roles of writer, performer, video maker and director. From a Live Art background she has developed solo and collaborative projects in the UK and abroad with a wide range of artists, musicians and community-based participants. The work stems from personal storytelling while combining social and political history, psychology, interculturalism and the distortion of personal memory. The work manages to make difficult subjects such as displacement, family relations, ageing, and miscommunication in relationships accessible to wide audiences while developing innovative forms of personal storytelling.
