What's new in metro land? Well, Whispers from a Rickshaw is progressing fast with some very exciting artists involved and some very exciting festival exposure this Summer. Paul is slowly returning from extended paternity leave and Esther will shortly be starting maternity leave...... We're like ships in the night. In all seriousness, we are as busy as ever at metro HQ with projects and touring showing no sign of letting up so even this early in the year I can tell you that there is plenty to look forward to. As usual I will also advise that the best way to keep up to date is to sign up to the mailing list (big green button at the bottom of the menu on the left). To view all the latest news just follow this link and see what we have up our arty sleeves for 2010.

Another year draws to a close and MBD start thinking about the hibernation period. About now our building starts growing stalagmites and stalagtites (answers on a postcard which is which) and we head off in different directions. One of us will be seeing the arrival of a new baby, another will be nesting in readiness for yet another baby metro next year, and one of us will be taking a long haul flight to catch some sun on exotic beaches. Damnit that sun sounds good..... Anyway, it has, as always, been a busy year and there is plenty more to look forward to so check out this link to catch up on all the news. Now I'm scurrying off to lay claim to a little heater that I can call my own...... Happy Christmas!

And so thetouring season is very much in its closing stages. WINTER has been out to CURVE in Leicester and the NATIONAL THAEATRE (that's London). Nightscene has visited Stockton Festival, as has Hansel & Gretel. And along the way there were also a couple of other notable festivals. And now...... we are tired!
But no rest for the wicked (or us) as next week we are travelling to Sweden to present NIGHTSCENE as part of the SEAS festival in Gothenburg and on our return we have a very exciting commission to animate a National Trust property for bonfire night.

Well it has been a while since the last post and we have been busy busy. Last weekend we premiered the re-worked Hansel and Gretel audio tour as part of Feast! in Manchester and we have more dates to come so catch us out on the road. Likewise, WINTER, will be make a couple of appearances outside CURVE (Leicester) and the National Theatre (That's London for those who haven't heard of it).

The eagle eyed among you may have noticed that the web site is sporting yet more content, the odd bit of audio and some properly up to date descriptions of our shows. We have also highlighted which projects are currently available to any prospective bookers out there (Hello!). All of which means that the site is just that bit moreuseful for you...... we hope.
And on top of all that we have been doing some art stuff too. Link here to our latest February newsletter and find out all the goings on at chez metro and some future plans too.
