Welcome to Crafted Reality, a podcast by yello brick.

Our guests this month are Ian Thomas and Rachel Thomas, who have been involved in directing and producing larps and live-action events for more than 30 years. They are founders of Crooked House, an organisation legendary for its high concept larps and ridiculously over-the-top special effects and sets.

Welcome to Crafted Reality! In this episode we continue chatting with our good friend Hannah McPake, an actor, director and playwright who collaborated with us on a project called DYAD: RISE & SET. An at home multi-sensory experience created for sunrise and sunset that combined captivating audio and beautifully designed literature to create a moment of solace, reflection and connection. We talk about the creative process and inspiration behind the project.

ABOUT HANNAH
Hannah's work is often inspired by history or reimagining's of well-known stories, it puts female characters squarely centre stage, usually playful and comic but unafraid to delve into the dark side of life, big-hearted and quietly political.

Welcome to Crafted Reality! In this episode, we chat with our good friend Hannah McPake, an actor, director and playwright originally from Edinburgh but now based in Cardiff. We talk about traditional and non-traditional forms of theatre, devising work, R&D’s, design, and everything in between.

ABOUT HANNAH
Hannah's work is often inspired by history or reimagining of well-known stories, it puts female characters squarely centre stage, usually playful and comic but unafraid to delve into the dark side of life, big-hearted and quietly political. 

In 2013 she co-founded multi-award-winning gig theatre company Gagglebabble with Lucy Rivers. Her first full-length play TALES OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM was performed at Sherman Theatre for Christmas 2022. I AM KEVIN a hybrid theatre/film with Cornish landscape theatre company Wildworks has been short listed for Best Single Drama at the Celtic Media Festival 2024.  Hannah took part in BBC Writers Room Welsh Voices 2023 and is working on her first TV drama pilot.

Welcome to Crafted Reality, a podcast produced by yello brick. 

In this second episode, we (Allie John and Julian Sykes) continue to talk about the background of the company and also the projects and people that have inspired us to make work in this space. We chat about ARG's (Alternate Reality Games) and how community plays a role in bringing a story together. We hope you enjoy!

In this podcast, we are going to be exploring what it means to make work in the margins. Creative work that doesn’t quite fit into a neat little box. 

The podcast will be a mixture of discussions around creating work with some of the leading makers in the world of larping, street games and general multimodal experiences. We will also be sharing some of our work as we develop a number of projects this year.
