Counterpilot is an award-winning collective of interdisciplinary artists based in Magandjin/Brisbane, Australia who create immersive arts experiences.
Together, we use new technology, rich design, and transmedia storytelling to transform the familiar through acts of well-meaning trouble, mischief and low-key chaos. Over the last decade, we have developed a reputation for bold, ambitious performance work — pioneering interactive formats that place audiences at the centre of the event.
Counterpilot is directed by Nathan Sibthorpe, with core artists Christine Felmingham and Mike Willmett, producer Nicholas Southey, and a constellation of Australian artists, technicians and tinkerers.
