Today we are delighted to announce Scottee as our new HOME Associate Artist. Following his sell-out run of Bravado last October and Fat Blokes in May, we are thrilled to be continuing our relationship with one of the UK’s most exciting, sought-after artists.
“I am delighted to announce that I have just become the associate artist at HOME,” says Scottee. “I’ve been making work here for two years now and I’m super excited because I love not only being in Manchester but being in HOME. Audiences here are really warm, lovely and keen to see the stuff we have brought here again. We’ve been planning some very exciting things for over the next few years, so get ready, because… I’m back.”
“We are delighted to be continuing our relationship with Scottee and have him on board as an associate artist at HOME”, says Kevin Jamieson, Senior Theatre Producer, HOME. “Scottee is one of the most exciting theatre makers, agitators and activists in UK theatre and as he celebrates 10 years as an artist, it’s exciting to feel like he is only just getting started. We can’t wait to work with him on further collaborations as he continues to push boundaries and address the bold, big questions we feel need answering. It’s going to be a very exciting year.”
Plans are currently being drawn up for two major projects in 2019.
About Scottee
In 2010, as an emerging artist Scottee won the title of Time Out Performer of the Year. Since then he has been creating provocative work for audiences across UK, Europe, Australia, Japan and the US.
His debut solo tour The Worst of Scottee won the prestigious Total Theatre Award at Edinburgh in 2014. Most recently he was included on Independent’s Rainbow List as one of Britain’s most influential LGBTQI+ people.
Last year Scottee directed the critically acclaimed Putting Words in Your Mouth, quickly followed by the sell-out preview tour of Bravado. A national tour of the production is currently touring until late 2018 to coincide with his first stage text published by Oberon.
Scottee is co-host on BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends. In 2015 Scottee’s debut radio documentary My Big Fat Documentary was made BBC Radio 4’s Documentary of the Week. Scottee has since then appeared on Front Row, BBC Radio 3’s The Verb and Free Thinking (BBC World Service and BBC Radio 1).
Scottee is not easily definable; artist, activist and troublemaker. His work is brash, clumsy and will often leave you a bit annoyed, overwhelmed but never impartial.
“Artist. Revolutionary. Visionary.” – Attitude
“A progressive sensibility with tits-n-teeth showmanship.” – Time Out
“Scottee’s work often comes in camouflage. Its flippancy conceals its fight. It’s how he reaches people.” – The Guardian
