The Atomic Weight of Happiness
A production of Stand Up Dance
Created by Meagan O’Shea & Andrea Donaldson
Performed by Meagan O’Shea
Designed by Lindsay Anne Black
Lighting by Michelle Ramsay
As a dancer born with 12 toes, Meagan O’Shea has always had to acknowledge her inner outcast. In The Atomic Weight of Happiness, she involves her audience in an hour-long experiment to arrest global warming; dissect, identify and measure the ingredients of each human emotion. Meagan O’ Shea is an engaging dance artist who has created a unique, funny and quirky eco-inspired performance piece that weaves compelling dance and text.
“ Uplifting, energetic and totally out of the ordinary, Meagan O’Shea creates a highly amusing and unconventional theatre/dance performance that is bound to intrigue. “ -Theatre Mania
“This one of the most energetic and creative performances I’ve ever seen. O’Shea gets the audience completely involved in the work (we are instructed to laugh when she laughs as she peddles like a maniac).” -Theatre Mania
Recommended for ages 8+
