For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Ali spoke to Dawn Taylor (right), the Artistic Director & CEO at MANIPULATE Arts, to learn all about this year's MANIPULATE International Festival of Visual Theatre which runs from 1st - 11th February.
Now in its 17th year the festival promises something for everyone, and Dawn gives us an overview of the festival, a bit of the history, the significance in supporting non-text based theatre, film and other forms of performance, the importance of accessibility and inclusivity, and just what festival goers can expect.
The two also talk about this year's programme discussing just a number of the highlights, some of the companies and artists appearing, the plans for the opening night, and how and where people can get tickets and get involved.
It's a great introduction to this year's MANIPULATE festival, and should whet the appetite for what's to come...
