Flathead

Synopsis:
Inspired by edwin A. Abbott's 1884 'romance of many dimensions' novella, Flatland asks: what do we do when we think we have been enlightened? What comes next? the audience is invited to explore an unthinkable world where only two dimensions exist, like a sheet of paper. the story told explores what happens to the character Square, when his concept of the world and all its possibilities implode as he is revealed a world in 3D. Set in the 2D and 3D worlds, Flatland traverses the art of digital puppetry; the real-time interplay between live bodies and projected image, interactive audio and digital reactions utilising Xbox Kinect technology and wearable electronics. Technology, design, digital puppetry; they're all equally important live performers in this exploratory, totally original work which plays with and questions what theatre looks like in an increasingly digital world.

Tea For Toot

Synopsis:
Tea for Toot, a black comedy inspired by the life of enid Blyton and her offspring, both fictional and real. Tea for Toot depicts an unusual week in the life of Georgia and emily, the two elderly daughters of a fictional children's author named Mary Waters. Mary Waters' oeuvre included two popular and long running series, the Nautical Nine and the Thrifty Three, as well as hundreds of charmingly illustrated books featuring Toot, a mischievous young elf whose trumpet nose makes a distinctive 'toot'. Sound familiar? Toot's friends comprise a menagerie of recognisable and uncomfortably politically-incorrect forest folk including Mumble Bear (the bear who loves to dance), the dirty and deceitful gypsy chimpANZee family the Codswollops , and Niggles the Golliwog.
