Productions

Since 2003, Cscape have made 14 pieces of new work, performed 300 shows and played to over 28,000 people. Plus, we toured with Kneehigh on their acclaimed production of Don John, which visited 10 venues, performed 85 shows, to an approximate audience of 38,000 people. We’re proud to have introduced dance theatre to audiences of all ages, exactly what we set out to do all those years ago.

Alongside this we have delivered over 320 education and community workshops to 9900 participants as part of projects working in countless primary and secondary schools, pre-schools, universities, special schools, in community settings, elderly care homes, PRUs and with Looked After Children. The work we do within our outreach projects directly feeds into the creation of new performance projects and is created to be relevant and accessible to the communities we serve.

This journey through the gardens was an evocative, surprising and memorable experience for all the family. There was darkness, light, magic and wonder… and even a few ‘sweeties’ along the way!

Neptunalia

Venue: Trebah Gardens

Neptunalia

On a storm filled night when clouds were the colour of bad tempers, the briny sea separated Neptune from his son Neleus. But it’s been years… and today, something has washed up on the beach that is neither fish nor bird nor boat. It’s the morning of The Neptunalia Ball, but what or who has arrived?

TASTE

Venue: TASTE toured across the UK to 39 venues in Autumn 2015 and Spring 2016

TASTE

Tea; how do you take yours?
Milk no sugar? Milk in first? No milk at all?
Builders, Earl Grey… Herbal?
What’s behind or choices?  What defines our identity? Do we really fall into social tribes and if so how far up the social ladder is our tribe?  Can we climb higher?
