2016 Highlights
2016 was full of highlights for the company. In August we were delighted to bring two shows, Poggle and Whiteout to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe as part of the Made in Scotland Showcase. Both show had great runs, incredible audiences and fantastic feedback with Poggle becoming an official ‘sell out show’ of the Fringe. September saw us launch our very own Intergenerational Company with 30 members aged 7-74 years old. Tiger and Tiger Tale (7+) continued its international journey firstly visiting Perth Australia’s AWESOME Festival for Bright Young Things in October before returning to China visiting Shanghai, Huangzhou, Yangzhou and Nanjing. 2016 also saw Poggle perform in China for the first time, with a return visit hoped for 2017. The perfect finish to the year was performing sell out shows of Poggle at the Southbank Centre in London as part of their Winterfest. We can’t wait to see what 2017 has in store.
