‘Mountain Goat Mountain’ a digital theatre work was created with the support of the Arts Centre Melbourne, Adelaide Festival Centre’s Dream Big Festival, Home of the Arts (HOTA) and Awesome International Children’s Festival. Innovative in its form, it has now been presented at Baboró International Arts Festival for Children, Spark Arts Festival (Leicester), Belfast Children’s Festival, Children’s Theatre Company (Minneapolis), Des Moines Performing Arts (Iowa) and Filament Theatre (Chicago) with more seasons still to be announced.
‘Feather Quest’ is an interactive journey that shadows the life of a bird from the warmth and intimacy of the nest to the freedom of the wide-open sky. Guided by a beautiful set of cards, families are invited to gather treasures like a bowerbird, discover their family birdcall, and soar through the rooms in their homes. Originally commissioned by ArtPlay, ‘Feather Quest’ has also been presented through the Sydney Opera House and the DreamBig Festival.
With a commitment to providing space for deeper connection, physical closeness and to help people to find the poetic or the playful in life, Threshold’s work has been featured in the New York Times, and received critical acclaim from publications in Ireland, London and Australia as well as delighting audiences with an innovative and accessible approach to theatre making.
