Pillowworks

This event at Gardner Arts Centre Brighton, took the form of a magical installation and the performance centred around four different chambers in which the rituals of going to bed were re-enacted. It was a textural and interactive piece to complement the touring show Sleep Tight.

Guided by 2 performers, the audience of under-fives and their families, explored the four environments, each representing a different stage of going to bed: bathroom preparations, the pyjama room, a pocket room of bedtime stories and the bedroom.  The performance culminated in all the children and performers settling down into a huge bed as the lights faded and night-time imagery played out in silhouettes on the ceiling above.
