Over the years we’ve built up an incredible team of collaborators with whom we create our productions.
We have been working with Logela since 2009 when they produced the digital world for Scattered. Through our collaboration with them we have developed the digital-dance integration for which we are known and they are a vital partner in all theatre and event-based work.
