Do you know what happens when female acrobats hit middle age? still hungry don’t know either, but they’re trying to figure it out.
Part circus show, part training session, part trip-down-memory lane, Show Pony takes a hard look at life onstage and the gut-wrenching moment when the stage no longer wants you.
Packed with love, laughter and lunacy, Show Pony is a joyful scream that challenges sexism and ageism, on and off stage.

Heckel’s Horse is the alias used by local artist Edgeworth Johnstone for a series of works based on collaborative paintings he made over the last ten years with Medway artist Billy Childish, 18 years his senior. Hence, Johnstone acting alone is Heckel’s Horse Jr. These beguiling works have their roots in primitive and symbolist art using colour and the language of dreams to great effect.
Open: Wednesday and Thursday: 13.00 – 17.00

From the creators of One Duck Down (“A perfect show for kids” ★★★★★ Families Edinburgh) with music by Cat Gisby (Elle & the Pocket Belles), this adaptation of Arthur McBain’s book is full of spooks, songs, silliness, and most of all – monsters!

It has since toured to venues including the Lyric Hammersmith, Pleasance Courtyard, New Wimbledon Theatre, Aylesbury Waterside, Greenwich Theatre, Turbine Theatre, GLive, Wardrobe Theatre, Canada Water Theatre, Streatham Space Project, and many more including schools and community venues.

Inspired by the Cosmos Archeology project at EPFL, Space Junk tells the story of a space suit pushed out into space on an ephemeral orbit of the earth with a radio transmitter, known as SuitSat. A friendship is formed between a life-sized puppeteered space suit and a human, embodied by a dance and aerial artist.
With over 100 million pieces of space junk orbiting the planet, Space Junk is a tale of love, loss, new frontiers, the destructive power of human carelessness and our constructive capacity for hope and compassion.
Please be aware that this a work in progress performance.
In partnership with Jacksons Lane, Norwich Theatre and Exeter Phoenix.

A night of fresh alternative comedy and circus theatre.
Bristol-based emerging artists bring two new experimental shows with a surreal twist on spectacle with comedy at its core:
Transcendental
Using trapeze and a comical amount of existentialism, Transcendental is a fever dream journey through the absurdity of being alive. A satirical deep dive into grotesque aspects of the human experience.
Hiding in Plain Sight
Using physical comedy and object manipulation to explore surveillance culture, Hiding in Plain Sight tackles juggling our virtual identities and our authentic selves.
Suitable for ages 12+
