We work in all scales from miniature worlds to arena spectacles, and across all mediums including theatre, film, commercial and educational productions.
Our goal is to manifest the viewer's imagination in the simplest, most direct manner possible.
To achieve this our aims are:
- when designing to develop an aesthetic which integrates into the production design, while highlighting the hand-made, human-powered, analogue nature of our objects.
- when fabricating to prioritize ergonomic and comfort considerations thereby allowing for more confident and fluid manipulation by the performers.
- when directing and performing to ensure a visceral connection between the performer and the object which creates an environment in which the audience willingly suspends disbelief and becomes fully immersed into the emotional aspects of the production.
