NICK BARBER
Nick Barber grew up in a cult. Luckily he found an escape in books and discovered a love for the inner world of stories. After training at RADA, he pursued a career on stage in companies at the National Theatre, Shakespeare’s Globe, Punchdrunk Theatre and the West End. After meeting Katherine onstage at the RSC, Nick joined Palimpsest to act, direct and produce for the company.

NODE
Node is a Brighton-based design practice led by Chloë Hanks Ladenburg, creating integrated print, digital and experiential design with skill, care and impact.
For Palimpsest, Chloë works closely with Katherine on a suite of collaborative commissions, developing online companion sites that extend the life of each project. These experiential websites act as narrative touchpoints, inviting audiences look behind the curtain to sift the story behind each work. Alongside the digital platforms, Chloë develops integrated print materials, brand identity, illustration and visual assets, building a coherent visual language for every production.
