Dillah Johns
The Canterbury Tales, originally published in 1392 by Geoffrey Chaucer, was one of the first satires in the English language. It tells the story of pilgrims on their way to see the shrine of Thomas Becket in Canterbury, with characters ranging from all walks of life and intentions. My production, was to be in the modern perspective, focusing on caricature and exaggeration of current day social groups. The Wife of Bath is a plastic fantastic bootylicious mistress, The Miller is an alcoholic devoted football hooligan. The Reeve is a slimy council officer and the Clerk a solitary internet troll. This project was so fun to do, and every single detail builds visual comedy. It really developed my interests in body modification and abstract tailoring, as well as working with a range of materials, like fur, lycra and leather, diamante work, and breaking down.
