A special Live Art commission by artist Tim Bromage, developed in collaboration with Live Art Development Agency.

Inspired by the site of The Regent’s Canal, this live art commission playfully explored the facts and folklore of the London waterways. Using costume, text, magic and song, the Unreal Boat Tour was an exploration and celebration of a life upon the water. Jim Dahl’s Unreal Boat Tour was commissioned by UP Projects and Somewhere for the The Floating Cinema 2013 in collaboration with Live Art Development Agency.

The Floating Cinema Extra-Ordinary was supported by The Legacy List and their corporate partner Bloomberg as part of Bloomberg East in partnership with Canal & River Trust.
