'What we want the company to be able to do is to produce really incredible work that you're not going to see anywhere else. We want the company itself to be a space of flow, where people feel that it's a place for them, that everyone can come in and be a part of what's happening.’ Antony Hamilton- Chunky Move Artistic Director
