Summer 2024 Booking Availability: Calling Event Organisers and Promoters!

We would love to hear from any local authority, promoter or outdoor event programmer interested in our performance and participatory programmes.

A mid-scale physical theatre performance featuring Sea Giant Eko operated by 5 puppeteers and a female contemporary dancer, inspired by the themes of the climate emergency and the biodiversity crisis. A tale told in 2 parts; a walkabout act followed by a static show. This spectacle is designed specifically for family and festival audiences and tells the magical story of a 13-foot-tall puppet and a courageous little Violet.

A large-scale travelling performance featuring a 15-foot tall Giant Wheel driven by 5 street artists, accompanied by live music, and inspired by the beauty, power and impact of people from different walks of life, coming together.
