We stand up and speak for all those who have reached later life, and also protect the long-term interests of future generations.

Riptide

Riptide create unique immersive and interactive theatrical experiences which transport you to another world. Audiences are swept through the narratives, spaces and cities in which our performances occur. Since 2014, Riptide have been making work which places the audience at the heart of the experience, combining innovative storytelling with digital technologies. These experiences may be as varied as encounters in secret corners of a confetti-filled nightclub, an intimate, pervasive and personalised performance for one or a guided journey through city spaces accompanied by smartphone and GPS technology. Riptide’s work combines the artistry of immersive theatre, the thrill of being inside a real-life Black Mirror episode and the interactivity of your very own Truman Show. Riptide recently launched project intimacy- an SMS-based, curated experience designed to reduce loneliness.
