Though we enjoy touring shows we will never forget our roots and the power of well run, proper, participatory arts. We have delivered many projects from Salford to St Helier in Jersey where activities and relationships built up along the road to creating work make the event a transformative and binding experience.
This work can take the form of Dirt and Dreams or Lighting The Legend (see Gallery). Our strongest relationship is with Ordsall Community Arts and the community there that we have worked with for 8 years with the community and other artists. This work bears its most impressive fruit every Autumn in Lighting The Legend, where we have recently led the show to a new venue straddling a canal (see Green Bananas) where it will grow further in 2010.

We are becoming well known for our giant parade structures, from an 80 foot mechanical bakery, giant spinning glowing heart, a 12 ft rampant viking and a marauding tricerotops hot rod to of course HANUMAN and our latest TRUNK, all developed to some extent with the community in which they are presented

Although we set up Pif-Paf to deliver outdoor theatre we work on creative consultation commissions for indoors installations. Spring 2006 saw us making a story tent that holds a multimedia tree with film and more mechanical ways to see what pupils and teachers have to say about a £5m educational initiative and a series of interactive automata boxes for a feed back to a Surestart centre.
