30th Anniversary Series, Day 31: 2026
It’s our 30th birthday!
If you’ve been following this anniversary series, you’ll know that our first ever public performance was at London’s Riverside Studios on the 17th June 1996. And here we are, 30 years later, still experimenting with new ideas, still working out what we’re doing, still full of wild uncertainty but now with the quiet certainty that that is still OK.
For us - Sam and David, co-founders, co-artistic directors - it has been the journey of our lives. And such a privilege and a joy to do that together. And such a privilege and a joy to have found ourselves at the centre of a creative, curious community of artists, collaborators, colleagues, partners, participants, co-creators and audiences. We thank you all, for everything, always.
We’re off to a spa today, because we’re very tired. That’s how we’re celebrating. As you read this we might be in a steam room or plunging into a large wooden barrel full of ice.
And tomorrow we carry on. There is so much more to discover. There is so much more we want to say.
Watch this space.
With love and thanks to our partners and collaborators
