Horse + Bamboo Theatre create visual theatre in which music and story-telling is central. The company’s approach is practical and empirical rather than theoretical, and is non-verbal. It creates a complex and informed contemporary narrative theatre.
Horse + Bamboo makes theatre that both draws on the contemporary reality of an image-drunk world and on atavistic roots of ritual and magic through the use of masks, film and puppetry.
The company tours throughout the UK and internationally. Originally this was horse-drawn but nowadays is by van. It also runs Outreach work from the Horse + Bamboo Centre, and a Visual Futures programme that engages with new creative artists and companies working in visual performance. This ensures that the Company remains open to new ideas, artists and other creative partners.
