For Murmurations we worked in partnership with leading charities the National Trust and the RSPB to make a sensitive and surprising response to the native species and tensions in our nation’s wildlife parks. Working alongside a renowned playwright, local experts and state of the art sound design we created an aural and live performance that gave the land a voice and the audience an adventure through it. Murmurations has been re-staged in 5 unique locations.

The commissioning of Rave New World allowed us to delve into place based working and community partnerships. Co-created with the Exodus Collective, the community of Marsh Farm Outreach, local writers /historians the show, with an original rave soundtrack, was a spectacular celebration of Luton’s revolutionary rave scene. Exploring a local story and giving it a national relevance created something very much of its location but with a universal message. Featuring a youth ensemble, circus, live music and moving cars it was a feast for the senses. An album launch followed the live event. Social media reach of 150,000+
