About Weave Movement Theatre & Black Hole Theatre’s Residency
“Weave Movement Theatre and Black Hole Theatre will collaborate in a first stage creative development, as part of LGI’s residency program from December 5–13, 2022.
Their starting point is Weave member Anthony Riddell’s surreal novel, Appropriate Breath Plan.
Weave is a disability physical theatre company and Black Hole Theatre makes high quality visual theatre through puppetry and other genres. Both create visual theatre in line with their artistic approaches and styles. This is an unprecedented artistic exchange and we are excited about its outcomes.”
