Underground, the indoor winter counterpart to Wilding Theatre offers an immersive journey dedicated to raising awareness about soil health. It goes beyond just a performance and actively encourages positive
environmental action and we hope, contributes to a cultural shift toward sustainability.

In October and November 2023 our first adventure into research and development on this new project began in collaboration with Alison McGowan of Puppetship, Christo Wallers filmmaker, lecturer, and researcher, and John Cobb of Theatre Sans Frontieres, workshopping ideas and creating audio tracks and shadow scenes with local primary schools across Northumberland and into Newcastle.

Funding partnerships for Underground include Arts Council England,
Northumberland County Council, Queens Hall Arts, and Allendale Parish Council
