Come and meet Brimstone the Dragon from Autin Dance Theatre!
As the opening event for our 80th Celebration, we can’t wait for Autin Dance Theatre to return to Stroud with this spectacular roaming theatrical experience that ignites imaginations and inspires wonder.
Brimstone is a fearsome yet misunderstood beast, brought to life by four highly skilled puppeteers to tell the magical tale of his adventures from a hidden island. In this interactive promenade performance, Brimstone will roam high, low, around, and through the crowds — on a heartfelt quest to find his long-lost friend.
Starting our journey at St Laurence Church, Brimstone will be on his quest to find his long-lost friend at 11.30am, 12.30pm & 1.30pm. Meet us at the Church or join us on the High Street to help us explore the town.
Autin Dance Theatre is an innovative performance company based in Birmingham, creating ambitious multidisciplinary work across dance, physical theatre, puppetry, and storytelling. Led by artistic director Johnny Autin, the company is committed to delivering inclusive, thought-provoking performances and impactful participatory experiences that deeply resonate with diverse communities.
The company’s productions, including acclaimed outdoor shows such as Out of the Deep Blue, Parade – The Giant Wheel, and Up in the Sky, imaginatively explore timely themes of identity, resilience, displacement, and the climate crisis. Autin Dance Theatre has built a reputation for spectacular visual storytelling that combines powerful choreography, striking designs, and compelling narratives, often featuring large-scale puppetry and aerial elements.
