Step into the stillness of The Hide and see what might not always be visible.
The Hide is a live solo performance installation led by disabled artists about birdwatching and hidden disability. The show asks you to stop and consider what might not be immediately obvious to the eye.
The show is a live birdwatching experience in which Tilly shares her love of birdwatching, her struggles as a woman with a non-visible disability, and the story of G463, a disabled White-Tailed Eagle who started her love affair with birds. Whilst we look for birds, The Hide gives us time to sit and appreciate the spaces around us, that we may have never truly looked at and remember that there is more than what you cannot see.

About Tilly Ingram Theatre
Tilly Ingram is an artist whose practice is centred around our relationship with wildness, nature, and fear. Exploring these from her experiences as a woman with an invisible disability, her work is often playful, joyous, and provocative.
Tilly Ingram Theatre was created because she wanted to create outdoor theatre that reflected her own lived experience as a woman with a non-visible disability/chronic illness and this journey began with THE HiDE, which debuted Spring 2025. Tilly Ingram Theatre aims to create high-quality disabled led work.
