Penelope Bartlau and Jason Lehane are the engine room of Barking Spider Visual Theatre. With Barking Spider, they create visual and performative stories across art forms. Their practice includes devising image and performative experiences that activate audiences. They interpret the stories of individuals, communities, place, history, and science using a combination of art forms including immersive art-installation and performance. Their works transform the way people experience the familiar and encounter the unfamiliar - in museums, galleries, theatres, communities, schools, festivals, residencies, and workshops. Barking Spider Visual Theatre is based regionally in Colac Otway Shire, Victoria and presents locally, nationally, and internationally.
