Credible Likeable
Superstar Role Model
2012-2014

In an audacious and provocative protest against the world’s flagrant attempts to sexualise and commodify childhood, Kimmings and her 9-year-old niece, Taylor, decided to take on the global tween machine at its own game.

They invented 'Catherine Bennett', a dinosaur-loving, bike-riding, tuna-pasta-eating pop star, and vowed to make her world famous to prove that an alternative was possible! Bryony became Catherine Bennett and Taylor her manager. They were invited to parliament, became friends with Yoko Ono and their music was played on BBC Radio One! 

Credible Likeable Superstar Role Model was Taylor and Bryony’s theatre show. It was not for kids. Instead it tackled the issues at the very core of their project head on. It was set in a fantasy land far from our own, where lines were drawn in the sand, girls became knights, eyeballs were gouged, wars are waged and people sold their souls for a fast buck. It was a tale of hopeless protection, blind fury, 9-year-old brains and taking on the world with your family. In typically screwball and humorous fashion, Kimmings begged the question: what does it really take to be a Credible Likeable Superstar Role Model for a child of the 21st century?
