About
Artists Stephen Dobbie and Colin Nightingale love to make work and they both share a passion for music and sound. Two key elements at the centre of their work.
As Associate Artists of the multi-awarding winning immersive theatre company Punchdrunk, they bring over 20 years of experience and knowledge, both creative and practical, to their practice. They were part of the core creative team that developed the globally renowned Sleep No More in New York (2011-2025) and Shanghai (2016-present) and has been experienced by over 2 million audience.
A Right/Left Project is a place to explore the world as artists in their own right, whilst also allowing for collaboration and consulting with other artists and organisations to make a board range of work that interests and inspires them.
