They have learnt from extensive experience that to fully realise an artist’s vision the technical and production support needs to draw on project planners, structural and mechanical engineering and architectural design.
Our History
The Generating Company was formed from the Millennium Dome Central show, it was an idea by Dome Creative Director Mark Fisher and Production Manager Paul Cockle. The company created ‘Storm’, it’s first show which opened in the Combustion Chamber at The Circus Space in Hoxton in 2001. From these beginnings the company grew, making its own shows and delivering worldwide shows and events.
In 2006 and 2007 the Generating Company played live to over a million people with original shows performing and touring on three continents.
The company is now led by Artistic Director Abigail Yeates and has become internationally recognised for producing original physical and circus productions.
