A Birmingham based theatre company who create immersive theatre that explores inventive uses of storytelling, visual theatre and site-specific performance

They’re the group that did a show called Stop The Clocks at Newman Brothers Coffin Works recently, if you remember that. They do the Facebook and Twitter thing too.

Jo Gleave’s project is a site-specific promenade performance taking place in the now-disused Newman Brother’s Coffin Fittings Factory.

The Pod Project by Illographics aims to inject positivity and creativity into a deprived area of Birmingham through a community space, where groups learn and share skills and ideas.

The situation regarding Newman Brothers is unfortunate to say the least – AWM (having bought the building) have recently pulled funding, leaving a sensible-sounding project in the lurch and the Birmingham Conservation Trust in a very sticky situation. Here’s hoping a solution is found.
