Environmental Theatre Maker Tom Bailey talks with Jo Tomalin about Mechanimal and Wild Thing!
Tom Bailey integrates his passion for the environment and endangered species into his theatre company, Mechanimal and the shows he creates. A few years ago, Bailey performed Vigil to acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe about his portrayal of endangered and lost species. This year Bailey performs a new show Wild Thing! at the Edinburgh Fringe. He talks with Jo Tomalin about bringing the environment and making theatre together.
About Wild Thing! “A gloriously stupid show of bad animal impressions and a wildly playful nature safari. How do you do an Uglyface Scorpionfish? What’s a Darth Vader Giant Pill Millipede? Tom and Xavi create a wickedly feral duet between body, sound and species in this nature documentary on steroids. Herald Angel award-winning Mechanimal returns to Edinburgh with a sequel to its hit show, Vigil.”
