About Me

>

We are a group of six artists based in Sheffield, UK. We make performances as well as projects in other media and contexts.The Guardian newspaper has called us “Britain’s most brilliant experimental theatre company” which we like! Our work varies quite a lot - from projects that are very brash and theatrical to other works that are very minimal and text-based. In everything we do we are trying to find ways to talk about contemporary experience, and to create exciting and intimate encounters with audiences.Since we started in 1984 we have presented our projects in a lot of different places in the UK, all over mainland Europe and much further afield.See our site for more details..
