​​Thurrock's first 2 day Commedia Street Festival!
In 2020 the Company was awarded funding by Arts Council England and the Local Authority to deliver Thurrock's first 2 day Commedia Street Festival.  The project included an extensive education programme and collaboration with community associations to produce a show, animating traditional leather masks and performances in historically accurate, traditional costume, for 4000 people. It was our first exciting collaboration with Gandini. Sadly, due to Covid-19 we had to postpone this extravaganza but fully intend to deliver in 2022.
