Manipulate Arts champions, develops and presents outstanding animated film, puppetry and visual theatre in Scotland and internationally. Our public programme is continually evolving and spans boundary‑pushing performances and screenings as well as early‑stage experimentation, from our flagship Manipulate Festival to Undercurrents, our new annual platform for raw ideas, bold experiments and fresh, untested work. Manipulate Arts’ animated film activity also runs both within and beyond our festival contexts, expanding opportunities for audiences to engage with inventive visual storytelling.
