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.
In development: CARE (working title)
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.
We are looking for potential partners to develop and tour Care for indoor spaces in 2014. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact us at nathan (at) tangledfeet.com

In June 2013 the number of unemployed 18-25 year olds in the UK will reach One Million.
The early years of adult life are a fragile and vulnerable time, but simultaneously, explosively powerful and filled with enormous energy.
Identities are carved and pathways into the future forged.
What does it mean for a generation to face the start of their working lives in atime of uncertainty? How do you get onto the career ladder when all the rungs are broken?
With live music, ingenious staging and breathtaking pyrotechnics the spectacular One Million is powered by the hopes and aspirations of young people in 21st century Britain.
Tangled Feet’s dazzling performance will evoke the spirit of youth, the untapped potential, and the ambitions and hopes of the next generation. Guy Connelly of a Clock Opera and Nick Gill of The Monroe Transfer create a live-scored soundtrack to this immersive experience, which with a mass cast will bring GDIF 2013 to a barnstorming climax.
28-29th June, 10pm, Royal Arsenal, Woolwich SE18 6ST (outside Firepower Museum)
