Eilidh's Daily Ukulele Ceilidh!

Performed by Eilidh Macaskill

For each and every day of 2007, Eilidh MacAskill of Fish & Game Theatre pledged to create a celebratory performance event for the world with the help of her little ukulele. Eilidh's daily random acts of ceilidh form a moveable feast of tartanry and two-steps which attempt to engage audiences in impromptu moments of celebration where they least expect it or need it most.

For Garioch Theatre Festival, Eilidh pauses for thought to share her experiences of the EDUCeilidh project so far, and to chew over the meaty questions of national identity, celebration, performance, and tiny guitars. Catch her witty blend of theatre, stand-up, music and dance before she takes the show to London and then to the New York Ukulele Festival.

Fish & Game, ''young Glasgow iconoclasts' (THE SCOTSMAN), are Eilidh MacAskill and Robert Walton. We create vibrant performance works for varied spaces and audiences. Our work explores our obsessions with the world, our place in it, its natural and unnatural wonders, and its unholy terrors.

Sweet Life

The Wee Giant Puppet Company

Pan Drop looks different from all his classmates.

His nose is too small, his legs too short, his ears too big, and his hair too blue. All he wants to do is fit in. Then one day he meets Sour Plum, a giant monster who is different too, and they set out on an adventure to change themselves, which leads to a few surprises on the way.

Douglas McBride

Theatre Photography

Over the last ten years Douglas has created a library of images documenting many of the most memorable moments from Scottish theatre from some of Scotland's leading theatre companies, including Theatre Babel, The Royal Lyceum Theatre Company, Dundee Rep, The Tron, The Citizens, Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Scottish Dance Theatre, Suspect Culture and Theatre Cryptic. This exhibition contains the finest photographs from this archive.

Born and raised in Glasgow, Douglas McBride studied photography at Napier College. He worked in advertising for many years winning many international awards, but it was the influence of Graham Mclaren, Artistic Director of Theatre Babel that led to the photographing of theatre becoming a passion.
He is proficient in every format and uses the best of digital equipment. His portraiture appears in publications worldwide, and has been commissioned to create landscape images for many of Scotland's leading corporate bodies.
