THE TRUTH DOESN'T LIE
This site specific commission was performed at Oxford University Museum of Natural History on the 27th of June. A rip-roaring who-dunnit looking at how the truth isn't always what it seems, giant sea cows aren't always honest and why you might want to eat a cockroach (for science of course!). It's a 45 minute show for up to 70 people that we hope to adapt to other Natural History venues - Please get in touch to discuss possibilities.

DIRT AND DREAMS
Was an enchanting and expansive site specific performance commissioned by the City of Salford and the Heritage Lottery Fund on the 27th and 28th of September, in Clifton Country Park
For 80 years Wet Earth Colliery had lain dormant but for two days only the work, lives and legends of 180 years of Dirt and Dreams came tumbling back up its shafts and tunnels.
The event was a great success, a video of the project and images are available on the gallery, you can contact us for a full resolution film.

Pif-Paf's FANTASTIC ANIMAL TROUPE
has now sailed for the last time...
It was the world's finest and only exhibition of living specimens of extinct species including the vicious Marcononi's Solenodon and the songstress Oahu O'O of the Koa Tops of the Hawaiian Island.
The show was hit at The Oxford University Museum of Natural History, Cliffe Castle Museum, The BBC RAW programme, The world famous Salford Lads Club, Kendal Mintfest, Gardens of Delights and The National Theatre's Watch This Space event.
Our gorgeous mobile cages presented a beautifully mad, lively and educational installation featuring two or three performers dealing with man-made extinction through the stories of lesser know unfortunate species. All was presented with traditional Fairground Bluster, enchanting for young and old alike.
