Festivals and Conferences

We are often asked about our process of making work and we love to talk about it!

We explore collaboration and PLAY as a means of generating material and putting it together to create live theatrical performances. Our rehearsal process incorporates Viewpoints and durational improvisation, adapted to be accessible to our Deaf and hearing artists.

We have been invited to share our unique experience as a bilingual company led by Deaf and hearing artists and our expertise in creating performances for and marketing performances to Deaf and hearing audiences.

We have run contributed to panel discussions, made presentations and run workshops at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Solar Bear’s Progression Festival, Parallel Festival, The Sick of the Fringe (Edinburgh) and Poplar Union’s artist events.
