ThickSkin is a young and dynamic company, small in size but big in ambition. When we launched the company in 2010 our intention was simply to take a show to the Edinburgh Fringe. Little did we know how quickly the company would gain momentum and how suddenly we would find ourselves developing numerous projects, regularly travelling the length and breadth of the country to bring our work to new audiences.
Our aim is now to develop as an organisation, building an infrastructure that will support the artistic vision for our work and allow more people to see and experience ThickSkin’s creative process. We will continue to set ourselves new challenges and strive to build on our successes.
We are immensely grateful to all those who have helped us on our journey so far. Support will be critical to achieving these goals in the coming years and we welcome all those who wish to join us as we embark on this adventure.
Thank you
Neil & Laura
