NEW for 2008 - this year we are developing two new works:

'Hoodwink' (working title) oscillating around the theme of 'oppression' and looking at devices of manipulation in modern culture.
How reliant/addicted to technology for information? How much do we rely on what we are shown? What would happen when the world turns off?
This will be a devised physical and visual theatre performance incorporating elements of observational technology, direct audience interaction and new media. Inspired by contemporary texts revolving around modern dystopian society by H.Pinter, A.Burgess and F.Kafka.
New for us is the process of 'scratch' or working progress performances which we have chosen to adopt as the basis for our material development.
We will be developing this work with Marcin Rudy from Song of the Goat.
Scheduled to begin mid-summer 2008.



'Next Village' (working title) looking at traveling, immigration and questions related to the concept of 'Home'. Focusing specifically on the wave of Polish immigrants in Britain since 2004.
Inspired in part by the short story 'The Next Village' by Franz Kafka:

My grandfather used to say: “Life is astonishingly short. Now, in my memory, it is so compressed that I can hardly understand, for example, how a young person can decide to ride to the next village without being afraid that—apart from accidents—even the time allotted to a normal, happy life is far too short for such a journey.”

Scheduled to begin production in autumn 2008.
