Over the past eight years Tangled Feet have developed a model of therapeutic theatre where we work with a targeted group of young people to co-create a piece of theatre that explores their lived experience and shares it with a wider audience. The act of making the show has outcomes for both the participants and the creative team that align with therapeutic processes and the creation and touring of the show helps to shine a light on an unseen story.
Belongings creates a world full of suggestions while leaving enough space for children to ask questions later.
As expected, Belongings was another exceptional piece of theatre, which has earned itself an Offies finalist spot for TYA Production.

Steve Waters and Tangled Feet’s Murmurations takes on renewed relevance and urgency
Murmurations is immersive local theatre at its best. A captivating achievement, shaped as a guided woodland tour. Production, audience, and even the breathtaking scenery of Bedford’s Park itself are intriguingly integrated, blurring aesthetic boundaries to maintain its creative illusion.
"This is not just a play: in the form of its creation it’s a therapy session, reaching out from an often unrepresented community and giving space for young people to explore their stories.”
Henry and his 16-year-old brother Billy have been in care for five years. For the last three years, they’ve been drawing on their personal experiences to become co-creators in an innovative new play that aims to help young people aged six to 11 (as well as those of us who are a bit older)understand the emotional impact of growing up away from your birth family. Produced by theatre company Tangled Feet and Rowan Tree Dramatherapy . . .
Tangled Feet and Rowan Tree‘s Belongings beautifully amplifies the voices of the often unheard – and contributes an honest look at the impact of these challenging circumstances.
"So much more than theatre, Belongings is an outlet for therapy, a joyful celebration of childhood play, an articulation of resilience and a message that children in care can find their place in the world."

It’s the universal issue guaranteed to get people’s blood boiling....parking. But why does something as basic as finding a car parking space have the potential to send us stratospheric? Tangled Feet seek to find out with their latest show, which sees two cars (and their occupants) battling it out in a parking dispute that goes nuclear.
It'll all start when you look up...
Overnight, in a public space a mysterious, ominous organic form appears. It seems to have burst through the pavement or playing field, creating a strange shape seven metres high: it towers over the landscape. Slowly, displaced people begin to emerge. Then more and more…
Where do they go now? How do we respond to them? How long will they stay?
