About the Show
I am Mixed, A Series Of Immersive Theatrical Performances
for

I am Mixed is a unique storytelling experience where the audience are invited into Siara's family history with food.

Siara is a blend of South Asian, British Irish, Italian, Mongolian Portuguese and Scandinavian...according to her ancestry DNA test results.

Siara's colourful ethnic profile was reflected in many family habits throughout her childhood and adolescence but most prominent was food; South Asian and Irish Cuisine in particular. Food was used to celebrate, comfort and unite the family against the prejudice of the outside world. 

Siara tells stories that reflect on the diaspora experienced throughout the generations of her family from opposite ends of the globe and how food became a way to communicate tradition, love, support and tribe.

I am Mixed - A Hendi,

This post marriage, pre marital celebration of Siara tells of the influences that formed her autonomously arranged marriage and how food can nourish relationships. ​

Performed at Foxwood Community Centre, 17th December @ 6.15pm.

I am Mixed (A Cefill) went on to be performed at York Theatre Royal, as part of the 'Taste of SLAP' Festival in York 2020 and was met with great enthusiasm and excellent reviews.

I am Mixed- A Door Step Delivery May 21 - July 22, was performed on doorsteps across Yorkshire.  At a time when the Covid-19 pandemic closed theatre's, like all good code switchers I am Mixed, turned up on the doorstep with a meal in hand and shared the stories of years gone by. 

I am Mixed- A Hendi, is a mix of a great girls night out (The British Hen doo) and a Modern take on the South Asian Mehndi (with the men too).
