he performing arts are one of Magic Factory's major priorities, probably because Stephen and Dimitri have always had a great fascination and passion for this particular field. With Dimitri being a playwright and Stephen a costume designer this collaboration would seem natural.

The Window was the first big theatrical project for Magic Factory. Information on this and subsequent drama productions can be found below.  Further projects include a season of four plays to be staged in 2007.

Future plans do not just include drama, but also movement and musical theatre. These other types of activity will also benefit from Stephen's wealth of experience formerly working for the Cape Town Opera House while he lived in South Africa, and Dimitri's training in Eurythmy.
