THE BIG IDEA

Global stories make the world feel bigger and smaller at the same time.

And our world needs that right now – especially young people.

Spinning Dot Theatre launched in August 2014 with the goal to make great global theatre to inspire and connect our audiences with the rest of the world.

“This was crazily inventive, beautifully adapted, serious, moody theatre…it was pure magic.”

Carla Milarch | Artistic Director, Theatre Nova
