They're a physical theatre company founded in 1994 by Scott Graham, Steven Hoggett, and Vicki Middleton. They were students at Swansea University, none had studied theatre, but were fascinated and willing to learn. Taking inspiration from the likes of the company DV8 they wanted to create something different to anything seen before, and created a style based on movement, music, design and text to create energetic, memorable pieces.
They believe strongly in the idea of collaborative efforts in the creative process, an ensemble production, trying new ideas through trial and error, learning and sharing. They have number of devising techniques, beginning achievable and building upon it to make the creative process easier to handle so that more ideas are formed.
