“EEA provided an extraordinary fire and light production to help us celebrate Shakespeare’s 450th. They responded to our very particular brief and took our late requests in their stride.”
“EEA are a wonderful, creative organisation. Specialists in community engagement and cultural development. EEA were working on a medium term project with us and 6 months in they achieved more than we ever thought possible!”
“EEA’s unique Turtle and performers helped to bring Bestival’s Summer of Love to life, lighting up our new Carnival Night Parades and injecting that wow factor across the site! A pleasure to work with this wonderful team.”
“A highlight of this year's festival and an original take on the fire garden experience with a fantastic sense of immersion. The interactive components animated the Central Gardens brilliantly and the soundscapes really added to the atmosphere and other-worldliness of the experience.”
