Follow us on Twitter for all our updates on the festival.

Just got back from ACT Festival in Bilbao. It was great to meet and connect with so many artists from around the world and try out another version of the show to another audience. The festival, in the same model as BE in Birmingham, bases itself around bringing a collection of artists together at mealtimes - providing great food twice a day to encourage everyone to be in and around the festival hubs at all times. It's a great way of stimulating engagement and interaction between the artists in a way that feels unforced, informal and intimate and that builds actual relationships as people first, artists second.

PERLE showing this week @ CPT as part of Sprint Festival 2012, Wed 21 and Thurs 22 March

PERLE

This week we will be showing our work in progress "Perle" at Camden People's Theatre's great festival for new work called Sprint.

Perle is an attempt to create a live cartoon based on one of the oldest poems in the English language, Pearl. With just one performer and his television, Perle is the story of a young father coming to terms with loss, told through a bold mixture of illustration and performance.
Perle is the collaboration between award-winning theatre company Dancing Brick (21:13, 6.0: How Heap and Pebble took on the World and Won) and the illustrator Serge Seidlitz, exploring how the poetry and silence of the comic book can be transferred to the stage.

The performance will be at 9.15 on Wednesday 21 and Thursday 22 at Camden People's Theatre (nearest tube Warren Street)
