Katie and Pip
by Tin Can People (UK)
Katie & Pip celebrates the relationship between Katie, a 15 year old girl with type 1 diabetes, and ‘Pip’ her 5 year old border collie, trained by Katie to save her life on a daily basis. It is made with dramaturgical support from Andy Smith.
The performance investigates the pairing between humans and dogs as a vehicle to explore compassion and companionship in the human social condition. On a journey of extreme highs and extreme lows, they celebrate freedom and living life to the full; watch dogs be humans and humans be dogs as this chaotic and unpredictable collision of youth unfolds.
Katie & Pip is commissioned by Derelict with dramaturgical support from Andy Smith. The project has been supported by Making Room & Lancaster Arts through their artists’ development programme Foot in the Door.

Boys will be Girls and Girls will be Boys
by KASK/Mole Wetherell (BE)
A couple of years ago we spent a week in an old hospital. There was a lot of dancing, some singing, a long catwalk. We laughed at models falling over, we danced badly to Swan Lake, we witnessed the birth of Christ… We had a great time, we had an excellent time, so we decided to do it again. This is what happened next...
Boys will be Girls and Girls will be Boys is a new performance piece, drawing on an earlier project, by 7 students from the KASK School of Arts in Gent, Belgium, under the direction of Mole Wetherell, the Artistic Director of Reckless Sleepers.
