We’re happy to say that following many successful collaborations, our friends at Coney are making it a bit more official, taking some space on our development floor here at Somethin’ Else HQ.

Tassos Stevens, who’s both a runner and a director of Coney, tells more below.

Hello, Coney!

——

Coney is an agency of adventure, making live play with audiences wherever they are, according to principles of adventure, loveliness, reciprocity, curiosity and agency.

About some of our play …  “A Small Town Anywhere” is theatre for no performers but a playing audience — an examination of a community at war with itself that was a co-production with BAC and Time Out #1 Critics Choice Theatre.

A Cat Escapes, also in co-production with BAC, is an ‘adventure in learning’ for a primary school class emailing a cat to help it in a prison break from enthusiastic cat-nappers (and spanning the curriculum in their efforts).

Recently we’ve made audio-adventures for the London Snorkelling Team, with Scanner for Ignite at the Royal Opera House, and for Tate Britain about the public sculptures of Henry Moore.

We also made a giant brain sing for Guerrilla Science, loveliness spring up on behalf of Rabbit, and are about to heist art from a gallery in Walsall and an adventure in learning to Mars with Unlimited Theatre. And some more stuff we can’t talk about just yet…

We’ve been hanging out a lot with Somethin’ Else over the last year, doing research with audiences feeding into game-design for SuperMe (and we’re available for hire to do research for interesting projects) and developing projects together for BBC and Channel 4, and many other interesting parties. We are also in the brains team for Papa Sangre, the 4IP-commissioned ‘video game with no video’.

It’s a natural step to move in officially as we’ve been crashing at their pad for some time (although we have our own toothbrush).
