Ours is a theatre of story-telling visuals, transformational design, magic, comedy, music, physical performance, puppetry, multi-media and most importantly thrills.
Company
We are drawn to stories that explore extremes of behaviour and taboos in the contemporary world: often unbelievable true tales that delve into the bizarre, glorious, exhilarating and macabre. The stories we tell offer audiences opportunities to engage in live experiences that may in small (or large) ways enhance or challenge their understanding of the world.
Vox Motus is a sociable creature and for each project collaboration with other artists - composers, designers, illustrative artists, choreographers, digital editors - is at the heart of our work.
Artistic Directors Jamie Harrison and Candice Edmunds conceive, write, direct and design Vox Motus' productions. They continue to dream up new works of increasing imagination and endeavour to take to the widest possible audience - nationally and internationally - sharing Vox Motus' unique brand of Scottish theatre.
Vox Motus is supported by Creative Scotland and Glasgow City Council.
