George Fergison CBE - Bristol Mayor
“Pip Rush Jansen is one of those rare individuals who not only has a fantastic imagination, fired by an exploring mind, but has the energy, skill and determination to exceed expectations. His production of the fantastic Metamorphosis show was an unforgettable highlight of Bristol’s year as European Green Capital, reinforced by strong environmental messages regarding recycling and re-use. The show, produced on a major heritage site, was the ultimate in live performance and met all our exacting standards in terms of collaboration and crowd control. His work can best be described as the art of the impossible!”

“Pip is creative on an industrial scale, designing and building the kind of surreal stages, machines and environments that Hollywood set designers dream about but rarely achieve. His Arcadia Spectacular structures are continually evolving, and they really have to be experienced to be believed”
