The Hide – a touring production

Tilly Ingram (she/her) is an artist whose practice is centred around our relationship with wildness, nature, and fear. Exploring these from her experiences as a woman with an invisible disability, her work is often playful, joyous, and provocative.

​Tilly started her career in Actor training, starting at Drama Centre London and then undergoing a BA (Hons) Acting degree at the University of Chichester. Followed by an MRes at Royal Holloway, University of London. Her work is largely influenced by her love and interest in nature and wildness, and having been diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis at 16, a lot of her ethos is centred around making work accessible both for audiences and herself.

Tilly Ingram Theatre was created because she wanted to create outdoor theatre that reflected her lived experience as a woman with a non-visible disability/chronic illness and this journey began with THE HiDE, which debuted Spring 2025. Tilly Ingram Theatre aims to create high-quality disabled led work.

The Hide is a live solo performance installation led by disabled artists about birdwatching and hidden disability. The show asks you to stop and consider what might not be immediately obvious to the eye.

Step into the stillness of The Hide and see what might not always be visible. The Hide is a live birdwatching experience, where Tilly shares her love of birdwatching, her struggles as a woman with a non-visible disability, and the story of G463, a disabled White-Tailed Eagle who started her love affair with birds. Whilst we look for birds, The Hide gives us time to sit and appreciate the spaces around us, that we may have never truly looked at and remember that there is more than what you cannot see.
