In May 2010 we tried out our new format DIRTY POP-UP DATING in Sheffield and it was a huge amount of inspiring fun. Our collaborator Dr Gai Iles was massively generous and brilliant and we think it was an extraordinary, genuinely unique-and-never-to-be-repeated experience for the people who joined us.

DIRTY POP-UP DATING with...
Dr Gail Iles
Thursday 27th May 2010
Crucible Studio, Sheffield
We meet some extraordinary people in the course of our work and we'd like to introduce you to some of them. For Sheffield Crucible's Forge Festival of new work, we invited Dr Gail Iles to join us on stage...
Gail is a particle phycisist who works at the European Space Agency where she is the only female British astronaut instructor in the world. Gail is also a member of the Space Station Programme Committee which will have a say in the future of the International Space Station and other space platforms such as a Moonbase.
Clare, Jon and Chris spent one day with Gail talking and finding out more about her life and work. At the end of the day Gail was on stage starring in a new show that we made up together as we went along. It was dirty, busked, scratched, low-fi, funny, insightful, inspiring.
