Hair Peace Major Tom Northern SoulHair Peace
Synopsis:
When Victoria competed in beauty pageants for a previous show a hairdresser advised she wear hair extensions. Freaked out by wearing a piece of somebody else's body she embarked on an extraordinary adventure to find whose hair this was. Victoria's boundless curiosity takes an audience on a serendipitous journey around a world in miniature. There's a baddie, a Russian fortune teller, an unbelievably expensive wedding, a Celebrity Big Brother contestant, forensic crime scene investigations and hair, lots of hair. The outcome is a true story about the search for three strangers from distant lands connected by DNA.

Top of PageMajor Tom
Synopsis:
Having already become a pigeon racer and a northern soul dancer, Victoria Melody's latest immersive quest, Major Tom, sees her explore championship dog-showing with her basset hound, whilst she competes in beauty contests. Victoria unknowingly discovered that her dog had prize-winning potential at a charity dog show and seized the opportunity to access the extraordinarily exclusive members-only sub-culture. Her dog, Major Tom's first show was a disaster, leaving Melody feeling an overpowering sense of guilt about her dog being criticised. So she decided to put herself through the same process by becoming a beauty queen. This show follows their story, reflecting on those familiar Brit fascinations with celebrities, beauty, and winning.

Top of PageNorthern Soul
Synopsis:
An hilarious one-woman show about Victoria's attempts at joining in. Her eccentric ethnographic approach to art practice has found her living with pigeon fanciers and learning to northern soul dance in strangers' living rooms. Immersing herself in other people's worlds, Victoria examines national characteristics, focusing on the extraordinary in the everyday. An idiosyncratic treasure trove of films, photos, and paraphernalia illuminate her journey in this comedic, engaging, and hopeful performance.
