We're in the 2nd week of rehearsals for a revival of our show The Forest, and I've been thinking a lot about how the piece works, and why we made it the way we did.

We're just embarking on a research project to explore how children, especially very young children, can give feedback on their experience of performance without that feedback having to be mediated by adults. We had our second brainstorming conversation today and realised what a very very steep learning curve we're on. If you have any thoughts or experiences in relation to all this, we'd love to hear more...

Thought I'd share a short film from a show called 'The Invitation' made for White Night in Brighton that combines projected imagery with live action and shadow puppetry. The detail in the images are a bit bleached out, but it gives the general idea!
