Sarah Nelson’s Quick Response residency will support her continued development of Into the Fog, a visceral interdisciplinary theatre work integrating unconventional masks, puppetry, illusion and interactive design. Evolving every day into the hyperreal, Into the Fog is inspired by Nelson’s account of living in prolonged isolation in the UK with Long COVID and her subsequent development of FND (Functional Neurological Disorder). 

More than promoting awareness of chronic illness, this is a universal story of disruption, loss, love and hope exploring the innately human experience of vulnerability, resilience and our capacity for change
