Manor Farm is home to a collective of artists. They orchestrate and perform multi-sensory promenade experiences that play with scale and sound. Audiences become a collective. It is a chance to move differently, through expansive space, with a heightened sense of the surreal.
Cambridge University thesis "British Puppetry 1955 -1995'
Dominic is a Maker and Performer of mask and puppetry.
In 2013 Dominic travelled around the UK, collecting stories from puppeteers, building a 20th century history of UK puppetry.
He wrote a thesis on the subject. The companies he discovered through this work, such as The Bread and Puppet Theatre and Welfare State International, have influenced his own mask and puppet designs.
For ODD ARTS, Dominic works as a facilitator, theatre maker and project manager (winner of The 2014 Spirit of Manchester Award for ‘Most innovative group’).
He has managed and delivered over 50 diverse projects for ODD ARTS, in schools, prisons (HMP Manchester, HMP Hindley, Barton Moss Secure Centre, Lincolnshire Secure Centre) and for organizations from the Brit Awards to the NHS, honing his theatre making, workshop designing and facilitation skills. He has acted, devised and facilitated in over 100 forum theatre performances.
Most recently, Dominic has developed and delivered courses in Bunraku puppetry for young people in prison.
