Dip Your Toe was a large-scale arts event, produced by the Nightingale theatre with Brighton Fringe and The Marlborough Theatre, to celebrate the Maiden Voyage of Lone Twin’s The Boat Project. This spectacular event saw the creation of six bespoke Victorian-style bathing machines, which acted as intimate Brighton Fringe venues, in prime locations across the city in May 2012.
Audiences could step inside a working camera obscura and view live performance in the streets outside, with Vivascope from Seth Kriebel and Zoe Bouras, or peep through the walls of a bathing machine to glimpse a mysterious world of shadows, dragged from the depths of the sea, with Kissing The Gunner’s Daughter from Grist To The Mill.
The events in Dip Your Toe formed a multi-faceted, interactive performance trail which won Most Groundbreaking Act and Star of the Festival at the Latest Awards 2012.
