REVIEW EXTRACTS
A tourist outing for deconstructionists.
The Scotsman (Guided Tour)
A rare opportunity to breathe in our own experience of a place, where we can become part of a new set of memories in space and time.
The Herald (Guided Tour)
It is unlikely that anyone could experience this beautiful event without being moved in some way.
ABC Radio, Brisbane (City of Dreams)

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Guided Tour
A site-specific promenade performance about place and memory, mixing personal and historical material. A guided tour for the post-modern age, it explores our relationship to the past and present. (60 mins, 1 on stage, 2 on the road.)
City of Dreams
A map of the city is created on the floor with hundreds of found objects, accompanied by a rich soundtrack of sampled and archive audio material. Highly adaptable in scale. (60–80 mins, includes local performers, 2–4 on the road, depending on local production support)

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
My Hidden Shallows
A solo performance for conventional theatre spaces, to be premiered in the summer of 2009. Two locations, two interlocking stories: some woods on the outskirts of London, the forests north of Moscow, dreaming of Russia as a child and encountering the Russian landscape as an adult. A travelogue and a meditation on the relationship between memory, imagination and landscape.

WRAP-AROUND
City of Dreams
A two- to three-week process leading to a performance, during which a group of local participants are led through an exploration of their city – walking, talking, sampling sounds, gathering objects and searching in archives. Workshops on creating performance from the everyday are also available.
