Outdoor festivals provide the perfect setting for our mural-making. We tap into the energy of the crowds to complement our large-scale live creations. Our evolving narratives encourage people to check our progress. This has the effect of engaging return audiences over a long duration.

Once they are drawn as a portrait on a wall, people bring their family back to see themselves as 'ringmaster' or 'adventurer.' Maybe they'll ask if we can squeeze in a tape drawing of their Mum as a 'fire-eater' too!

In multi-day murals where we 'animate' and change the work, people check in for story developments and pick out the little treats we weave in. Particularly as we offer our audience a chance to join us in ideas so they are vested in the creative process.

We also invite festivals to offer folks to join us in the 'rip-down' finale. The 'destruction' of an art work is a surprising ritual and a fun carthartic release.
 
As well as doing our own work we offer more participatory programmes to broaden the community involvement (see Teaching & Residencies ).
