December Creative Hub

Quirk Theatre are known for their inventive and innovative approach to live theatre, wowing audiences with their use of projection, puppetry, creative set design and original music. This year Quirk ‘come of age’ with their 21st show, Dayzee. We found out more about the processes of making the show and the themes behind it.

“Earlier in the year we visited four primary schools to run creative workshops about Sustainability- finding out what the children knew, loved and hoped for their world. It was really eye opening for us- for the young people, the future is all flying cars, robots and micro chips in the brain instead of teachers. But we also spoke to lots of Climate Scientists and Sustainability experts from a wide variety of disciplines, and their futures were much more community driven, locally sourced and flying cars were noticeably absent. The challenge for us (and it has been a super interesting one) has been how to honour both these different visions of the future. After all, the future needs to be something we are excited about, long for and run towards.”
