Description

Artist and theatre makers Sita Pieraccini and Jamie Wardrop welcome you into a world within a world, co-created with you.  Strange Loop is an immersive and interactive experience – a meditation on the hidden realms found at our feet. A collaboration with you and nature. Together we will celebrate life found in our most immediate surroundings. Join them on an autumnal walk to gather natural materials around Inverkip with some spooky sights along the way, before returning to explore using digital microscopes at their tech workshop. See your discoveries collaged and projected large to a live music soundtrack that will be shared in a unique one off performance.
Strange Loop consists of a half  hour nature walk, one and a half hour workshop and a one hour performance jam. Please note the final performance is at its best with your participation and collaboration.
There are 2 ticket types available:
Walk, Workshop and Performance Tickets: There is a combined ticket available for people who want to take part in all 3 aspects of Strange Loop including the Walk, Workshop and finale Performance.
Performance Tickets Only: A number of free tickets will be available for audience who just want to attend the performance jam event from 5:30pm – 6:3pm
Walk and Workshop Participant Note: Please note that the workshops happen at separate times from the final performance and workshop participants are required for both their selected workshop AND the final evening performance jam if possible.
