And Now: | UK

And Now: conceives, designs and creates visual performance, image and installations working with people, ideas, fire, fireworks, structures, sound and light.  Their work is unexpected, accessible, entertaining and public. Formed in 2013 consolidating the decades of Mandy Dike and Ben Rigby working together.  Audience experience is at the forefront, with their work endeavouring to create temporary communities sharing extraordinary first hand, simple, visceral experiences, leaving room for audiences to bring their own meaning to the event.  They work in spaces not specifically built for performance and find opportunities for audiences to engage with the immediacy of their surroundings, creating work that focuses and draws together the visual, cultural,  social, historical and geographical context.
