Blind Date
Photo by Gerwyn Davies
Trust a stranger and lose yourself in a unique one-on-one experience.
Participants are placed at the centre of a unique creative process where they are blindfolded and led by their ‘date’ on an intimate sensory journey of discovery through the streets, parks and alleys throughout the beating heart of your city.
The experience runs for between sixty and eighty minutes. Performances are strictly limited to one audience member per session. Audience members will be contacted by Big One Little One following booking to arrange the meeting place, so you will be required to provide your email address at the time of booking.
