At Black Laboratory, we create award-winning animation and develop and supervise animation for clients.

We also make and perform creatures and build prosthetics, puppets, props, models, masks and illusions for our own and others' interactive theatre, films and larp.

Our goal is to create stories and bring breath and life to the characters within them.
