Inside Out

This week we're joined by Elspeth Barron (again!) to discuss the perpetually tear-jerking Pixar film, Inside Out.

Inside Out follows 11-year-old Riley as she navigates the challenge of moving from Minnesota to San Francisco. We see her emotions, in her mind, as they try to keep control of the situation and keep Riley joyful! The film is directed by Pete Docter and Ronnie Del Carmen, and it stars Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Mindy Kaling, Phyllis Smith, Richard Kind, and Lewis Black.

Our staging takes its cues from the tradition of Pantomime, working with high-tech elements but with an overall lo-fi aesthetic that relies on painted sets and physical set-dressing, embracing audience interaction and accessible theatrical language.

Let us know what you thought of the episode on social media or email in. Would you have taken a more minimalist approach? Would you aim for a higher-budget production? Do you think the stigma around Pantomime would prevent the emotional resonance of the film shining through?
