Staff etc

	BOB FRITH Artistic Director bob@horseandbamboo.org 01706 242942	Bob founded Horse + Bamboo Theatre in 1978 expecting it to last 'four or five years'. During the past 30 years he has performed, played music (of sorts), set himself alight, cooked, made masks and puppets, designed, written, driven a donkey, unblocked the sewers and directed for the company.
	HELEN JACKSON Chief Executive helen@horseandbamboo.org 01706 242947	Helen is easily bored and has a history of moving on from jobs once the initial challenge has been met. She's been at H+B a record breaking two and half years and still wakes up every morning looking forward to a H+B day:it's exciting, ocasionally nerve-wracking,constantly challenging and the most stimulating place she's ever worked. She's also a member of the ITC board. In her spare time she sings in a small acapella 'girl' band, is a hill walker and enjoys the theatre and cinema.
	ALISON DUDDLE Associate Director alison@horseandbamboo.org 01706 242943	Alison came to Horse + Bamboo with a powerful recommendation from In The Heart of The Beast Mask and Puppet Theatre of Minneapolis, where she had worked for several years before moving back to England. Now she's a cornerstone of the company, overseeing The Boo programme, the Puppet Festival, and a new production.
	ALITHEA WARDLE Marketing Manager ali@horseandbamboo.org 01706 242945	Alithea joined Horse + Bamboo in 2007. after working for a PR agency in London. Her calm and reassuring presence has made us all enjoy and even enthuse wildly about Marketing. Currently she is working hard to promote the Little Leap Forward tour and our new projects, as well as our ongoing programme at our theatre space the Boo.
	ESTHER FERRY-KENNINGTON Company Administrator esther@horseandbamboo.org 01706 242941	Esther joined us in 2007 from Oxfam. She is an ex-croupier, a keen singer and a Morris dancer, and probably much more besides. Already she has made a big and cheery Geordie impact on the place - furniture never stays in one place for longer than a week, and she is often found out and about selling and promoting work to theoutside world.
	EMMA PORTER Accounts Clerk/ Admin Assistant emma@horseandbamboo.org 01706 242946	Emma joined Horse + Bamboo in 2007. She keeps the office under control, and distributes petty cash and our wages and pay, which makes her a very popular member of staff. She has been attending college studying accounts and has grown in her role.
	BOO TECHNICAL MANAGER Jonny Quick	Jonny has spent a long time at H+B in a variety of creative roles. Oddly, he is still mainly remembered as the show-stealing Grandpa in 'Company of Angels'. At present he is doing an amazing job transforming The Boo into a wonderful public theatrepace, as well as finding and building more cubby-holes to store our masks, sets and paraphernalia.
	ASSOCIATE ARTISTS Loz Kaye : music Mark Whitaker : puppetry	Loz has been working with H+B for many years as a composer and Musical Director, and even recently as a crone and perky young boy (both at the same time). Mark is a brilliant puppeteer and an example to us all, especially with his uncanny ability to successfully erect the pPod.
	CURRENT ARTISTS	Nicky Fearn, Frances Merriman and Mark Whitaker.
	ASSOCIATE COMPANIES: Horse + Bamboo are pleased to work with Dynamic New Animation and Thingumajig Theatre as partner companies associated with our programme of Outreach work.
