Introduction post - this is our first post on Hive

We're Gideon Reeling, a UK based theatre company.


We made this when we were crowdfunding in one of those lockdowns, a shedload of photos of some of the fantastic creatives we get to work with- artist Jo Dagless made this vid

We make interactive, immersive experiences.

Learning through play is important to us and we create and deliver inclusive educational experiences as well as more traditional forms of theatre and story telling.
Our stories are compelling and culturally relevant, they're often dark and weird and poignant, always fun, usually funny and often transmedia- merging live, video, digital and written design to make strange little parallel worlds that we invite people to come and play in with us.

We started doing things in 2006

originally as a sister company to British immersive theatre titans, Punchdrunk. We're a separate entity now and work across the board in theatres, public spaces, online, peoples' back gardens or whereever they want to play.

This from a show in the Palace of Versailles (goddammit- obviously the locations not always that spesh) the place was sloshing with cognac, here are some of our favourite girls with Kate Hargreaves the Artistic Director. after we finally got our hands on a glass.

We might share

videos and photos of our shows or stunts, games, reviews of stuff we've seen: shows, films or TV, information about our artists and designers and collaborators, interviews, music we've made, things we've written and comedy stupidness

We heard about Hive

from @stickupboys who we've made a lot of music and theatre installations with over the years. We really quite dislike centralised social media and this seemed like a creative place we could get involved with.

We imagine worlds and invite people into them.

inclusive storytelling & asking questions that provoke thought make us tick- this pic. was from a Penguin Books show we did at the London Palladium and shows the brilliant Silvia Mercuriali shot by Lopez
