Tangled Feet News
We are thrilled to announce that One Million, our spectacular story about young people, will be performed at this years Brighton Festival. The production was originally commissioned by The Greenwich + Docklands International Festival in 2013.
You can see One Million at 9.45pm on Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th May. Full details on the production can be found here:
We are delighted to announce that The Baily Thomas Charitable Fund has awarded Tangled Feet a grant to continue working with Rainbow SIBS – young people who are siblings of people with and affected by Autism. We will be delivering a six week project at Green Wrythe Primary School in Surrey in the summer term of 2014-14 academic year. For more information please contact our Participation Manager.
We are delighted to announce that Tangled Feet has received a grant from The Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation. This grant will enable us to provide ongoing professional development opportunities for young people that have previously been involved in our Participation Programme.
Madeleine Lloyd Webber, Trustee for the Foundation, says: “I’m delighted to announce the Foundation’s support of these projects which give young people valuable experience within professional arts organisations. We often forget about the talented individuals working behind the scenes, but it is equally important to provide training for the skills as it is for performers, so the arts across the UK can continue to produce to the highest standards.”
Tangled Feet’s Participation Manager Alexis Ramsden: “This is fantastic news and I’m delighted Tangled Feet have been given the resources to keep working with, and supporting, many of the incredibly talented young people that we have met in the last few years. Over the next 24 months we will be able to offer internships, work placements and professional development workshops which we hope will inspire the next generation of theatre makers to continue a career in the arts”
The grant was announced recently in The Stage.
CARE
In January we will be visiting Stockton ARC for the second phase of R & D on our new INDOOR show, Care, which explores the changing face of the NHS. Using innovative aerial techniques, the audience experience the show from beds whilst the action happens all around and above them.
“Illness is neither an indulgence for which people have to pay, nor an offence for which they should be penalised, but a misfortune, the cost of which should be shared by the community.” Aneurin Bevin 1945
“We have the technology and knowledge to provide a decent life for all, but we are in the grip of an economic ideology that makes that impossible” Ken Loach 2012
Almost everyone enters the world inside it and most of us will experience its healing powers at some point. Many of us will die in its arms and some of us will have our lives saved by it.
It’s epic, tragic, joyful, extraordinary and ordinary all the same time. And it’s up for sale.
The National Health Service.
As the largest ever restructure of the NHS occurs, Tangled Feet ask: what is it worth to us? Does it have a price that we can quantify? How do we value care?
The audience are on the gurney and the action all around them as Tangled Feet conduct open-heart surgery on our beloved Health Service, in this uniquely staged production premiering at ARC.

PUSH
Performed in the very outdoor spaces that parents inhabit – parks, shopping centres and busy streets, Push is a high-energy, humorous and thought-provoking piece about mothers and their relationship with their babies. It explores the thin line between society’s demands for maintaining public decency and respectability, and the more immediate demands of a spewing, defecating and accident-prone child. Using clowning, dance and physical theatre to tell the interweaving stories of five very different mothers, Push lays bare aspects of motherhood so often pushed under the carpet.
Push will also tour in 2014 – contact us for an info pack.
Push was originally commissioned by GDIF, Lyric Hammersmith, Imagine Watford and Latitude Festival and was funded by ACE.
