Opposable Thumb is the co-creation of Dik Downey (co-founder of Pickled Image) and Adam Blake (associate artist with Wyldwood Arts and co-founder of Open Attic Company).
Dik and Adam have been working together since 2013 when they performed together in The Shop of Little Horrors. The show toured extensively and a successful performing partnership was forged. Dik invited Adam to work with him again on ‘Coulrophobia’ – a groundbreaking clown and puppet show made at Nordland Visual Theatre, on the remote Lofoten Islands, in 2014. Coulrophobia has been touring ever since, showing at numerous international festivals, generating rave reviews and standing ovations.
