Our Projects
Wild Walks
An interactive foraging adventure, enlivening green spaces, engaging families!
Wild Walks is an outdoor theatre piece designed for parks, woodland and green spaces. Aimed at families, characters lead the audience through nature-based challenges. Our key collaborator on this project is Miles Irving, an internationally renowned wild foods expert and author of The Forager Handbook, hailed by many as the 'foraging bible'.
We have performed Wild Walks in Chatham and Gravesend and have been supported by MVA Test Bed Funding and Gravesham Fringe.

Playlab Playreads
January - March 2025
We were thrilled to be supported by UKSPF & Medway Council to create a monthly Playreading Club running from Store 104.
Our Playreaders read a selection of contemporary and classic plays and discussed their context, themes, characters and impact.
The project culminated in a Rehearsed Reading performance of Oil by Ella Hickson at Sun Pier House.
The Grown Up Games
Our very first project back in 2022 took place at Luton Primary school, providing confidence and empowerment, workshops, a social activity and creative outlet to parents and carers during the school holiday Fit n Fed programme.
The sessions culminated in ‘The Grown Up Games’ performed on the last day – with adults playing the part of unruly children, while the audience of children learned the
pain of trying to control them!
We are always open to ideas...
