2017 Highlights

2017 was a busy year full of highlights for the company. In spring we premiered our latest large-scale participatory project Wolves which incorporated a 60-strong intergenerational cast and received 5 star reviews. In May Little Red was invited to perform at the renowned Edinburgh International Children’s Festival and Whiteout performed at the prestigious ASSITEJ South Africa World Congress in Cape Town, South Africa. Tiger and Tiger Tale (7+) continued to tour internationally performing at several festivals including Stitle Festival, the Netherlands; the Arctic Arts Festival, Norway; FamFest, Chile and Kontesky 8 Festival, Poland. Poggle returned to the Shanghai Children’s Art Theatre (SCHAT) in China before going on an extensive autumn tour visiting venues across Wales. Poggle also performed at the Dublin Theatre Festival, Ireland; The Enchantment Festival, The Netherlands and the Cardiff Dance Festival, Wales. We look forward to seeing what 2018 has in store.

Wolves: "typically bold and uplifting...Superbly life-affirming and hugely moving" ★★★★★ The Herald

Little Red: "bold and brilliant, and worth taking a walk on the Red side" ★★★★ The Herald
