what people
say about us
"Like stepping through the TV."
Daisy Scalchi, Channel 4
“For us it is an immense pleasure to work with a collective like BitterSuite. I cannot think of any other organisation, globally, that is able to combine expertise about sensorial effects on an artistic level with an international network and a healthy awareness of inclusion and social impact. And not to forget, all this with a pleasant sense of humour!”
Ronald Ligtenberg CEO, Possiblize/Revelland

"I'm 64 and neurodivergent, and I've never experienced anything so beautiful before. Don't think. Just make sure you go."

"Such an experience isn't easy to translate into words... it must be felt, heard, smelled and tasted."
Smithsonian Magazine
"Unlike most theatre, actually delicious.”
Jonathan Ross

ABOUT

ABOUT
Who
We Are
Since 2014, we've self-produced and pioneered our 1:1 multi-sensory music concerts at venues including the Royal Opera House and Southbank Centre. Our unique process and artistic approach have led us to work with globally touring artists such as Christine & the Queens, and to collaborate with partners including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Boots, Nelsons Pharmacy, and Vivobarefoot. Alongside our productions, we've developed sensory-led engagement programmes with the Institute of Imagination, Heart n Soul, Wellcome Trust, and OKRE Foundation
BitterSuite exists to reimagine music composition and concerts. We bring together unique creative teams to compose for a wide range of performance spaces, designing experiences that immerse audiences in sound, movement, and sensation. Our work is bold, intimate, and participatory—music that must be felt to be believed.

BITTERSUITE ORIGINS
Five-year-old Stephanie sat in a concert hall, imagining birds flying through the auditorium during Stravinsky's Firebird, seeing colours dance through the air in time with the music. Years later, she discovered synaesthesia, and things started to click.

EVOLUTION
Stephanie began evolving a way to deepen how audiences listen to music. Combining immersive theatre and sensory perception, she envisioned a space where these ideas could come together. Two years into research, she met Anna Pearce—a dancer and somatic practitioner, also fascinated by synaesthesia. And alongside founding creatives Eileih Muir and Ashraf Ejjbair, together, they built a home for experimentation and collaboration.
