Kindur -- The adventurous life of Icelandic sheep. Discover a stunning Icelandic world through TPO's award winning digital technology and multimedia.
Kindur is Icelandic for 'sheep.' And three adventurous woolly mammals accompany you on a voyage through the extremes of the Atlantic and its seasons. Meet trolls and elves, travel through wild moor land, run over glaciers or peek inside northern lights and geysers. Listen to the rumbling of a gigantic waterfall and run inside a blazing volcano as Iceland's spectacular landscapes form the backdrop to an intensely visual geological journey.
"If your heart lights up, your turn has come to join the group of sheep travelling through the mysterious and cold lands of Iceland" Fabrizio Pecori, My Media
Suitable for children from 5 years and up.

A solo extract from Flagrant Wisdom, a work-in-progress of Rose English's coming project Lost in Music.
Flagrant Wisdom was performed at the National Glass Centre in Sunderland, England, with audience members were led around the workfloor of the Centre's hot glass studio, through outlets of heat from the active furnaces, and around the building for a series of performance vignettes. Each of these featured acrobats from Shanghai Acrobatic Troupe working with glass vessels that the audience had earlier seen formed from molten glass.
In the video you can hear the glasses chiming because they've been designed with an essential flaw that makes them unstable; each contains a small glass bead.

Wild physicality comes at you with nonchalant daring, on a stage littered with garage debris. Breakdancing and hip-hop fuse with a Chinese pole, trampoline work and acrobatics. Petit Mal emerges from the Finnish underground, ready for a theatrical riot.
