Sleight of Hand is an experimental, interdisciplinary theatre and arts group set up in 2014 by theatre-maker Ellie Chadwick and based in the South West (Bristol / Devon) and London. Their first theatre production, The Man Who, was first staged as part of Albany Theatre’s Young Director's Festival, selected by a judging panel of practitioners for transfer to Canada Water Culture Space, and then ran at the Tristan Bates Theatre. Through outreach work at this time with charities and support groups, the company began creating a new multi-sensory work exploring neurodiversity: Ergo Sum. This marked the beginning of creating experimental work with new technologies and interdisciplinary collaborations which often hone in on social issues and aim to give audiences transformative multi-sensorial experiences.
