Working towards new exhibition at Beningbrough Hall

We have started an exciting new project working with Beningbrough Hall towards an exhibition at the learning center. There are lots of lovely ideas being generated and the opportunity to do some work on site. Already we have taken a long leisurely bike ride up there, taking photos and bouncing ideas around all the way - what a fantastic way to work!

We haven't confirmed any dates yet, it's all very much in the early stages, but we are in the unique position of being able to do pretty much anything we want, and really want to make the most of it...

Collaboration with Anart Theatre

A classic fairytale retold with platforms and hoodies. The royal family are rather odd and the fairies are not as nice as they look. What is poor Sleeping Beauty to do? (Disco, of course...)

Hidden Tentacle Arts has indeed been busy (and, well... hidden) with a collaborative project with Anart Theatre. Rehearsals began in September and soon took on a life of its' own with a unique viewpoint and a carefree sense of humour.

This piece was devised by an integrated cast of people with learning disabilities and people without and performed at City Screen Basement Bar in York on December 13th and was a roaring success.

Hidden Tentacle Arts contributed to the production in several ways, including the building of a six foot castle turret and the making of some truly odd costumes.
