30 Bird & public works

30 Bird is an award-winning performance company based in Cambridge. Each one of their projects is unique – no one project taking the same form as another – and often using the detail of autobiographical stories to explore global issues pertinent to contemporary society. In recent years their practice has shifted to creating outdoor, site-specific, multi-disciplinary and interactive performance projects that create unique experiences for audiences, often designed for non-theatrical spaces.

They tour projects nationally and internationally to theatres, festivals, and public city events. Public works is an art and architecture practice working within and towards public space. All public works’ projects address the question how the public realm is shaped by its various users and how existing dynamics can inform further proposals. Their focus is the production and extension of a particular public space through participation and collaborations. They create social, architectural and discursive spaces that include socio-spatial and physical structures, public events and publications.
