One man one Couch is an emerging solo free lance artist that aims to capture the power and magic of film and bring it to a theatre audience. One man one Couch’s solo performer Tom Harding is a cinephile, who through his performances/workshops strives to capture his love for film and pass it on to the audience, and who knows, just maybe turning the audience in to an audience of cinephiles. Furthermore through his use of comedy, diction, vibrancy and mise-en-scene One man one couch takes the audience on a journey into the life of a ‘big kid’
Tom’s performances are completely devised and improvised around an obsession and love for ‘Film’ , his Performances aim to show the audience how films have influenced his life (In everything he does) and aims to find a relationship between the audience and himself, through a medium in which people can relate to. One man One couches performances incorporates memory, autobiographical content and fun into a mashed up fantasy world in which an audience can be taken away, and into the mind set of Tom’s passion for something magical and ‘non real’. Moreover Tom creates a mode of ease, fun and common ground by using such a recognizable prop throughout all his performances, this being his sofa in which immediately there is a iconic basis to begin the journey (as everyone shares the idea of a sofa with popcorn and a film)
