• Format: PDF

Other work includes scripting Wickedness, a dance-theatre adaptation of Ron Hansen's story which was performed in the Nebraska State Capitol Building and at DanceSpace Project in New York; an interdisciplinary adaptation of Willa Cather's The Song of the Lark and And To Eat No Fish, a reconstruction of five Shakespeare texts. Her next project, inspired by Marc Chagall's designs for the Moscow Yiddish Theatre, will be staged under a circus tent with clowns, acrobats and Klezmer. Julie Wilkinson was born and brought up in Manchester, where she now lives with her partner and their two daughters.
