NEWSUBSTANCE

NEWSUBSTANCE is a creative studio based at the Green Sand Foundry in Leeds, built on more than twenty years of designing and delivering projects that blur the lines between art, engineering and technology. The team works from creative direction through to fabrication, in the space where design meets drama, with an insistence that every element has to perform.

That approach has carried the studio from stadium tours to national ceremonies and public art. Recent work includes the Citylink walking route for Co-op Live, a puppeteered T-Rex for Doja Cat’s headline set at Coachella 2024, the SEE MONSTER and SPECTRA icons, and the opening ceremony of Expo 2020 in Dubai. Delivery stays in-house, from craftspeople to producers.
