imitating the dog have been making groundbreaking work for theatres and other spaces for more than 20 years. Their work has been seen across the world, and they have made work for outdoor festivals and events, seen by hundreds of thousands of people.

As a company, they are most interested in telling stories. They create beautiful, memorable images for audiences, and the work fuses live performance with digital technology, in order to serve the story in the best possible way. The work is always fresh and often surprising.

They make work for touring to mid-scale theatres as well as studio productions. They want to tell stories which are important and which contain important ideas. Sometimes this is an adaptation of a classic novel or a film, and at other times it might be a new story, devised by the company. They also make large-scale sited video mapped projects, but always with a story to tell. In 2018, their piece Arrivals & Departures was part of the opening events for Hull’s year as City of Culture.
