Here at Creature Encounter HQ we are looking ahead to Winter 2016 as we wrap up the summer season. Above is a photo from our night shoot for Jack Frost and the Winter Fairy, one of our new acts for Christmas 2016. In the coming weeks we break ground on two new festive acts to soft launch this year. Stay connected we will be blogging our progress x
Fairy Queen
Tim Burton-esque wooden shapes are strung with coloured lanterns.
Three viewing ports have been added to the tent to allow all sizes of people to enter the realm of the faye.
A couple of late nights have been poured into our re-vamped cart for the Fairy Queen. She has also emplyed a new Guardian as Aurelious Jone's commitments in the dragon taming business have him rather maximised. If you are in the area then visit Chesterfields Medieval Market this Tuesday (28th July.) Where you too can enter the realm of the fae!!!
Black light micro puppetry inside the tent.
New act: Dinotopia
Calling all agents, promoters and street theatre ambassadors...
Meet the adventurer Captain Jon Voyage and his beautiful dinosaur, Odyssia the Parasaurolophus, torn from the pages of a Boys Own Adventure and ship wrecked on our shores. Help the Captain as he studies his map in an attempt to return the beast to the late cretaceous period. Or make friends with Odyssia and help her understand that not all humans are barbaric cavemen & women. Wether you join them on their quest, or pose for a selfie you are sure to have a jurassic lark!
