Transfigured

Oceanallover

Alex Rigg has been making live events since 1982, with a strong need to push boundaries around, to set foot on unknown soil and generally to play with our concepts of art outside its accepted form. Pic: Surge Festival 2019.
Baba Yaga's House

DizzyO'Dare

Baba Yaga‘s House is a ramshackle old cottage, which roams the land on chicken legs, while Baba flies across the landscape. Though she may seem scary, she might tell your fortune, in exchange for a year of your life, or then again she might just eat you.
WILD

Motionhouse / (Without Walls commission)

Motionhouse's show asks us as urban humans: how do we relate to a way of being that we no longer understand? Is the wild still shaping our behaviour?
Ye Gods

Whalley Range All Stars

Ye Gods features a model town where three god-like figures tower over the proceedings. They gradually bring this miniature town to life with a witty use of objects and puppetry, but events are headed to a chaotic finale. Pic: Merchant City Festival, Glasgow.
