Look & Feel
A triptych is an artwork made up of three pieces or panels. The form is often used to impart narrative, create a sequence, or show different elements of the same subject matter.
These three touring productions will be performed in an enclosed designed world that holds seeds of all three stories: the forest, the settled village, and the future city. The performance space will be a portable wooden building that can be erected in a town hall, studio or on a proscenium arch stage.
An audience of 130 people of all ages will be invited into this wooden meeting house and into the world of each story through a range of participatory immersive experiences.
Reducing our Environmental Impact
Slingsby is committed to reducing the climate impact of its art making and touring. A Concise Compendium of Wonder – a triptych will help us to achieve our environmental ambition, strategically linked to our Green Touring Model, to eliminate more greenhouse gas pollution than we create.
Using a slower touring model also allows for an extended stay in each venue and for the touring artists to engage with local artists and community through a series of workshops and engagements.
A Concise Compendium of Wonder will be presented as a triptych: three productions on one set with one cast, reducing the overall climate impact. Told side by side, a more complex and urgent story about the natural world emerges from this collection of tales.
