Bill’s Attic

A ground-breaking digital, immersive, archive creative experience – like none other in the world.

Co-Founder of the critically acclaimed Wildworks landscape theatre company, Bill Mitchell was described as a ‘pioneer’ in his obituary in The Guardian following his passing in 2017. He dazzled audiences and astounded critics with works such as ‘The Passion’, ‘100: The Day Our World Changed’, ‘A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings’, ‘Tristan and Yseult and ‘The Beautiful Journey’ in the Devonport Docks.

Following his untimely death, Bill bequeathed his attic, a physical and digital resource of incredible artefacts as a gift for the artist in everyone, to inspire a fresh generation of creators, makers, thinkers and radicals.

In 2020 Bill’s collection was removed from its original Attic location in his home and installed as an
artists’ creativity resource in Krowji, Creative Kernow’s artist hub in Redruth. In addition, Falmouth University Archive Department led in the cataloguing of much of the collection’s 2D content.

Over a number of years leading interdisciplinary digital artist Scott Fletcher has worked to archive and showcase the collection and create an evocative, live public experience and encounter like none other in the world-class immersive dome.

Bill’s Attic – Archive Experience is an incredible new way to immerse in, engage with and expand on, works of extreme cultural resonance. Experience it for yourself this summer at Market Hall.
