World premiere of luminous solo work by emerging theatre-shaker Jess Turner. Part spoken-word, part movement, part quiet reckoning, Spectrum is a story about loving and living beyond the ordinary.
Spectrum is the world premiere of a luminous, genre-blurring solo work by emerging theatre-shaker Jess Turner. Part spoken-word poetry, part movement, part quiet reckoning, it is a story about loving and trusting beyond the boundaries of the ordinary and expected.Inspired by Jess’ own experiences, Spectrum moves through the soft, electric space of neurodivergence with tenderness and defiance. It’s a show about masking, mirroring, and the strange, slow joy of letting go of what was never meant to be.It has a quiet truth.A question wrapped in metaphor.A cyclone held in both hands.There are no declarations of victory here - just ripples of movement through memory, light spinning in a dark room, and the gentle hum of a simple question:What if difference is not something to overcome, but something to offer?Spectrum will not ask you to fix, or translate, or simplify.It will invite you to feel - deeply, honestly, sideways.To step into a story told in stammer and shimmer.To recognise yourself, not in the polished parts, but in the fracture.Please come if you’ve ever been told to quiet the best parts of yourself.Come if you’re carrying something no one ever taught you how to hold.There is beauty here. Come and witness it.
