Proto-type are a company of multi-disciplinary artists led by Rachel Baynton, Gillian Lees, and Andrew Westerside. Recently, this has included touring theatre (The Audit (or Iceland, a modern myth), and The Amnesty International nominated A Machine they're Secretly Building - part of the British Council Edinburgh Showcase), site-specific installation (Through the Walls), a two-week long theatrical experience using pervasive technologies (Fortnight), and a multimedia concert-performance featuring a live laptop orchestra and animation (The Good, the God and the Guillotine).They have been making work and supporting young artists in the US, the Netherlands, Russia, China, Armenia, France, Zimbabwe and the UK since 1997. Critics have called their work ‘an intriguing brush with altered reality' (New York Times), ‘smartly intelligent, coolly reasoned theatre' (The Guardian) and ‘enthralling' (Zambezi News).
