"The Look of the Thing @wiltonsmusichall does mesmerising things with bodies, words and time in a beautiful survivor space." Ben Walters [Time Out]
"I very much enjoyed this site specific work. The Look of the Thing took place in a school I am familiar with, however, the performance led me through the building in quite a different way, sensually, poetically, and unexpectedly. It was a beautiful experience." Mark Baldwin [Artistic Director, Rambert Dance Company]
"The Look of the Thing by Hannah Bruce and Company was a beautiful and enriching experience for us at Wilton's and judging from the rave reviews from our audiences it was for them too. The rehearsal process was very creative and enjoyable, the company is very talented and so lovely to work with. If you get a chance to see this company live, make it a priority." Frances Mayhew [Director, Wilton's Music Hall]

Unusual Spaces
The Look of the Thing is a site-responsive performance for unusual spaces. It uses our bespoke TlotT App to immerse audiences in an intense, individual world, sensitising them to their surroundings. Each individual, alone but within a group, is invited on a personal adventure that merges exploration, voyeurism and history.
Trailer

The text is by Matt Morrison and Jonathan Eato is the composer / sound designer. It works best with headphones.
