Fine Bone China is a task-based, part-improvised, part-choreographed performance that explores how we try to hold things together even when everything is falling apart. Lucy and Martha question Englishness, social conventions and how we all often pretend that “Yes, everything’s fine” even when we are clearly drowning. The performance takes place within a surreal minimalist set and playfully leads the audience to contemplate the gap that exists between our Romantic ideals and the bare truths of reality.

We’ve found it. Once and for all we have caught it: the ingredients for the most perfect teatime moment. We want to present it to you, to re-construct it for you exactly, precisely and then hold onto it. We want to rest in a limbo of loveliness where there are no raised voices and we are wrapped in a blanket of sugar.

Goodbye Frankfurt


After two very different performances and some serious late night cleaning we have left Frankfurt after a great residency. Thank you to everyone at Mousonturm for making us feel so welcome and thank you to all the other Plateaux artists and audience members that gave us such invaluable feedback.

Leaving our Rehearsal Space

We are packing up our rehearsal space today and installing ourselves into our performance space until the performance.  We will be sad to leave this lovely light and airy space but perhaps it's in good time as there is a slight smell of gone-off milk due to our work with cream and slightly less than perfect cleaning efforts!
