INTERACTIVE THEATRE

​THE SECRET FOREST PROJECT ​has been a firm favourite among Kelburn Garden Party Festival Goers since 2011. A participatory game within the Secret Forest with a host of characters to meet and a mystery to solve. With co-designer, Cam Hall we develop the story and train performers
​SECRET OF THE SHOOTING STAR, a commission from the Edinburgh Science Festival to create an interactive street theatre experience. Players were able to interact with the story, to meet characters, and journey to some of Edinburgh’s fascinating academic environments and locations...and participate in real science. Edinburgh Science Festival, 2013
​​CLUB MUD has been engaging, surprising and inspiring festival-goers since 2010. With the Club Mud team we develop and direct flash mobs and mass games, starting with a theme, fun workshops and then all manner of festival infiltration to subvert the norm
