Davy and Kristin McGuire (www.theicebook.com, www.davymcguire.tv, www.kristinmcguire.com)

Davy and Kristin McGuire hate writing blurbs about themselves. They would much prefer getting on with creating work they like. Yes, they have won awards and toured internationally and done what every other artist blurbs about. But to be honest, who cares? They would rather you came to see their brilliant shows! By the way, both are multitalented geniuses with enormous imaginations: Kristin is an amazing dancer-choreographer and Davy is an astounding animation, film and theatre maker. He proposed to Kristin outside a Kebab van.
