Keisha Thompson has been awarded the £10,000 Arts Foundation Futures Award for Theatre Makers, chosen by a panel of judges featuring director of Manchester International Festival John McGrath, playwright and performer Bryony Kimmings, and director of Battersea Arts Center Tarek Iskander.
The Award is supported by the Maria Björnson Memorial Fund and was announced at the online celebration with special guest Lily Cole.
Thompson recently created Man on the Moon, an award-winning solo show which follows her communication with her reclusive father through books, letters and symbols. Her debut show, I Wish I had a Mustache, was a comedic yet ‘disturbing’ journey through the history of the female beauty regime, investigating gender, culture, and self-acceptance.
