Projects
- BumpkinsAn hour of stand-up from a trio of bumpkins. 'Each a force of nature and a full throttled idiot' (Logan Murray). Eleri, Fiona and Ruth mix social commentary with silliness as they simplify the complex and complicate the simple. 'Fiona's writing and performing is sharp, witty and silly. She's everything I love in a performer' (Stacy Makishi). 'Eleri has funny bones, she is hilarious and original' (Ignacio Lopez). 'Ruth's special – one to watch' (Arthur Smith). A show about ugly dogs, environmental catastrophe and motherhood, amongst other things.
- Flipbook PeopleFlipbook People was originally commissioned by Haphazard Family Arts Festival at Z-Arts in Manchester. Co-created with Rosy Horton and Shaun Wykes, Flipbook People offered young people the opportunity to invent new heroic persona’s whilst exploring costumes and role play. Flipbook People has since been commissioned by Greenman Festival (Wales), Rainbow Serpent Festival (Australia) and Woodford Folk Festival (Australia). "Thanks once again for being such a fabulous addition to the area. The kids always looked so happy when they were in the Hippo Hut with you guys." Bria, Greenman Festival
