The first stage of development of Near & Far: an adventurous new piece for children exploring the distance between us all and the technologies that help us shrink our world and expand our horizons. Using the vast space of Tramway 1, Eilidh MacAskill, Murray Wason, Laura Bradshaw and Robert Walton (from Australia) want to see how distance is changing for us all.

The Polar Bears are enjoying a well-earned rest after a brilliant 4-week run over the festive period at macrobert arts centre in Stirling. Eilidh MacAskill and Fiona Manson performed “The Polar Bears Go Wild” to packed houses of nurseries, young families and many lovely grandparents over 48 shows in the venue’s Playhouse.

The Polar Bears are heading to Durham to explore the city centre and open the TakeOff Festival of theatre for children and young people.
