Fabler Index

"We set out to explore methods of devising, adapting, and storytelling. With a large and diverse team of highly skilled individuals, I have tried to give everyone the freedom to explore new ways of working, all within the same space and with the same stunning fairy-tale for inspiration. We have strived to create a supportive environment in which creativity can flourish and our imaginations can run free, whether on the floor, on the page, on the piano, or in the air, without pressure or expectation. Hopefully, through this process, we have all developed a little further in our own fields." Adam Timms

Each piece was very different, sharp and interesting. They were all quite challenging to the audience too and we really enjoyed that."
