StrangeWorks was founded in 2006 by a collective of artists who design, construct and facilitate theatrical performances and events that are specific to people, place and occasion. Their work unites design, performance, music and art with storytelling - pushing the boundaries of conventional theatre,
We have created theatre in living rooms, in streets, on stage, on beaches, in pubs. We often involve our audience members by giving each a part to play as they enter into a shared world of make believe.

Performance Banquets
A three course meal, music, storytelling and theatre. These evenings have been held in 'Passing Clouds' Arts club, and are available for private
parties or Festivals.
Edwardian Market Bar for the The Yoni Project @ Village Underground. Inspired by a Wilfred Owen Poem The Ghost of Shadwell stair'. The market contains five stalls and each has a different drink den and each populated with different immigrant characters from 1900's london each with a poignaint story to tell.
'Never Talk to Strangers'
A devised performance for a prosenium set up based on the Russian novel " The Master and Margarita" By M.Bulgakov.
The show has since been developed into a piece of street theatre for the Galway Arts Festival in Co. Galway, Ireland
Various Workshops
Our workshops tend to be practically based, incorporating mask , costume and puppet making and added performance elements such as miniture parades and improvised performances all depending on the age group we are working with.
For one year only the StrangeWorks spirits will
not be running this years Halloween street parade The March of The Dead or any of the usual
workshops.
We are on the move this year to promote the joys of death
and street reveleries in Walsall,
near Birmingham . The lovely
Walsallians have never had anything like this before, and is
a great
opportunity for everyone involved. We endeavour to spread the Hackney
spirit In the Midlands and please come along if you
happen to be dead
bored in Birmingham.
However do not despair, the Dead will still visit the Kingsland Road on the 31st.
Passing Clouds are planning on running this years event and host one of their legendary parties. So for more information please contact Eleanor Wilson :eleanor@passingclouds.org.
This does
not mean the end of the
StrangeWorks Parade. We will be back next
year
here in HACKNEY, with a bigger better
March than ever before.
