A Machine They're Secretly Building Peer into the machine of surveillance in this all-encompassing performance piece from Proto-type Theater.
A Machine They're Secretly Building charts a course from the Top Secret secrets of WWI intelligence (via the moon, 1972's Chess World Championships, a disco in Oklahoma and the cafeteria at CERN) through to 9/11, the erosion of privacy, Edward Snowden and the terror of a future that might already be upon us.

Bride-to-be Claire is not going to make a speech at her wedding. No way. She's just not that type of person. But what if being timid is a good thing? What if being scared is just you starting an adventure? And so it is that a morning's outing to the shops turns into a 24-hour odyssey where our heroine-in-pyjamas tries to locate her brave bone.
A new solo performance of songs and spoken word from Catherine Ireton exploring small acts of courage and how they can be as contagious as fear.
Winner of Brighton Fringe Music Award 2016.

Painter Lucy Stein's distinctive figurative painting style always verges on abstraction. Her enigmatic figures, strange vignettes and dreamlike scenarios are produced by an approach to making that she likens to 'a game of consequences played with myself'. Working intuitively, through an on-going series of additions and subtractions, she allows the process of painting to shape the form and content of her images, while also alluding to themes such as memory, hysteria and method acting explored by writers and philosophers as diverse as Daphne du Maurier, Jean-Paul Sartre and Kathy Acker.
Movement and sound collide in space.
Movement that is heard, felt and sensed in the body. Sound constantly shaping and reshaping the room. By tuning into the simple idea of the acoustic wave, The Amplitude reveals the relationship between sound and movement and remixes their channels of perception. With its entire soundscape created live on stage, directly from the amplified and recorded movement of the performer, The Amplitude aims to create resonance with its audience by offering a highly immersive experience of sound in movement.
Informed by history, archaeology, and anthropology, Steve Claydon's mixed media sculptural installations – like weird stage sets – decontextualize objects, often playfully juxtaposing surprising aesthetic styles to produce an immersive and culturally disorienting experience for the viewer.
