Theatre making the invisible, visible


Tricky Hat Productions

Tricky Hat Productions is a multi-arts performance company that makes theatre with and about people who live on the margins of our society.
  • We use a participatory approach, and devise our work.
  • We work with people to find a creative and credible voice through participation in high quality, collaborative, cross-arts events alongside high calibre artists.
  • Our artists work with participants using performance, film, music and movement to explore their real life stories, hopes and dreams.
  • Our creative outputs include live performance, sound installations and film.
  • We work in collaboration with organisations, artists and areas in Scotland and internationally.
