Love You Approximately 2009 - 2011

Director / Video design / Video programmer / Assistant producer

This Spanish / New Zealand co-production was devised using the new technologies of webcams, online chats and texting to produce a ‘real-time’ romantic comedy that fuses classic themes with the complex tools of current communication.

After going through the excitement & turmoil of a few long distance love affairs myself, I had the crazy idea to make a performance about it. With funding for an initial month of devising which consisted of myself and an actor in Spain, directing rehearsals via the internet with the assistant director and actress in New Zealand, we soon realized that the theme of long distance relationships has a rich and varied scope for play.

Since debuting at the New Zealand Christchurch Arts Festival 2009 to critical acclaim, Love You Approximately has toured in both New Zealand and Spain.

“The clinic in action is proof that there is no limit to creative collaboration… Scriptwriter Lucette Hindin and director Julieanne Eason have achieved a meticulous composite.”
