Tales From The Other Side is an immersive light and shadow theatre that is imagined and hand built by artist Liz von Graevenitz.
Their ethos is about nurturing a sense of freedom and play through creative practice that aims to inspire and encourage imagination. They are able to teach artist lead workshops in shadow puppetry making skills that involve people of all ages and abilities. Tales From The Other Side is not just for children, adults love the process too!
From twilight into the night, the atmosphere comes to life as the stage lights up then the shadow puppet performances commence where all sorts of fantastical stories are brought to the audience. The sensory ambience has proven to be a welcoming and experimental space where people with autism have enjoyed magical moments of play and interaction.
Tales From the Other Side is available for bookings at indoor or outdoor venues and events. They have had day workshops at Rotherham Civic Theatre, Gullivers World Theme Park as part of the children’s festival as well as catering to the needs of festivals such as at Just So Festival, Illuminate The Gardens and The Big Retreat where the events lasted 3 – 4 days.
From an audience of 5000 to 50 their team is able to work to meet your needs. They would love to hear from you for bookings this autumn/winter and into next year’s events. The installation is very versatile and they would love to reach out to communities and venues in and around Liverpool and beyond so please get in touch if you would like to find out more and to make a booking with them!

Testimony
‘Liz has a brilliant eye for design and brings quality and originality to the projects she delivers. Our audience thoroughly enjoyed making beautiful shadow play puppets with her and the activity was extremely popular. She is thoughtful, thorough and hard-working on site. I would recommend her skills and talents.
