Pete’s hilarious show crackles with bizarre spontaneity and awesome skill.

GUILDHALL (4)

WALK ABOUT (6)

In this mime and burlesque show, la Compagnie du Petit Monsieur continues its exploration of modern times. And what would Pandora’s Box contain nowadays if not one of these new objects which have invaded our daily lives?

Ernest feels like stranger in his own planet, but he is not a person to mope, he likes to invent things. He hatches a plan to build the fantastic machine of his dreams and present it into a contest. With the help of friends, Luce and Vivette, they start to collect junk and begin the construction...the machine is born, a machine that can be used to perform spectacular tricks. Be prepared to be amazed!

With its spectacular combination of magical world, physical theatre, circus skills and extraordinary costumes, the Insect Circus always provides old-fashioned circus glamour without parallel. This year they present to La Fête Franglais Sybil, the only Oriental performing snail in the Occident!

CATHEDRAL GATEWAY (3) TOWN HALL (1) HSBC (2) AND QUEENSGATE (6)

Sunday 12.20pm and 2.30pm CATHEDRAL GATEWAY (3) Circo Rum Ba Ba are a wellestablished, highly experienced women’s circus theatre company which fuses spectacular theatre with a diverse range of circus skills and absurdity. The company is well known for its elaborate, colourful costumes and painstaking attention to detail.

L' Hotel has parked ceremoniously at its latest destination.......The only hotel to come to you!

The "smallest hotel in the world” is shrouded but watch as it comes alive: beds are made, tables laid, chamber maids roused, bell boys leap into action and finally the special guests arrive and are ushered up the red carpet to their luxury accommodation.

Technologically brilliant, incredibly practical and hilarious.

Paul Durand, still restricted in his tight suit, just can’t resist looking in that box again and will learn it at his expense while causing complete mayhem!

Three characters, three personalities and a machine to bring them together; where acrobatics, juggling and mechanics are all rolled into one.

In journeying here, this extraordinary animal was forty days crossing the hinterland of France and is the first of its kind ever to pass through that country alive.

Standing seven feet tall, it is remarkable for its immense size and its gentle docility.

Fascinating for all the family, weirdly funny and completely crazy!

Presented in association with GRB Concerts

FROM WEST END TO BROADWAY

The Lift is a roving theatrical experience that envelops its audience, welcoming them into a world of captured moments, giving them a surreal experience that they won't forget.

An elegant elevator (on wheels) arrives accompanied by three bellhops. The audience are invited to step inside and choose a moment by selecting one of ten different ‘floor’ buttons.

Each button triggers a particular scene or event which is performed for both the audience member in The Lift and those on the outside looking in!

Watch amazed as this charming, eccentric, tiny venue erupts into glittering cabaret, dances into dream filled slumber and wakes to clattering kitchen choreography.

m, dreamed a drea ic songs like I many more... performing icon york,, memory and new york new

Acrobatics, globe walking, dead celebrities, French finesse, trumpeting and mime mayhem make this an enchanting show to delight an audience of any age or nationality.

The newly Chartered ICM

Overview It’s official, as of 1st January 2015, the Institute of Credit Management formally became the Chartered Institute of Credit Management. We’re delighted for ICM for reaching the chartered status.

The move from ICM to CICM required some changes to the brand, website, marketing and messaging and we were more than pleased to assist. In preparation for the grand unveiling of the royal charter, Dsquared created an evolution to the brand; reworking all stationery, collateral and internal and external marketing communications. We rebranded and rebuilt the website in line with the new name and worked closely with the team to ensure everything was in place for the special announcement on 1st January.

Watergall Primary School website

Overview We were very excited when Watergall Primary School approached Dsquared to help them with their rebranding and develop a new website for the school.

The school had held a competition asking for the children to get creative and design a new logo for the school. There were 3 winners and we included elements of all 3 winning designs into Watergall’s new brand.

Once we had the brand established that set the theme for the website’s look and feel; we worked with the theme to design, develop and build the school’s website. We love the branding and the website, it’s young, modern, fresh and friendly....just the ticket for a primary school.
