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 joined Horse + Bamboo in 2007, and has since been thrust into a steep learning curve about the thrills and spills of the arts world. A keen choral singer, so far she is doing far, far more than surviving, working closely with the whole staff team to develop the company and its premises.
	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 and the Puppet Festival among other things.
	ALITHEA WARDLE Marketing Assistant ali@horseandbamboo.org 01706 242945	Ali is another newcomer to H+B, and her calm and reassuring presence has made us all enjoy and even enthuse wildly about Marketing. Currently Ali is working hard to promote the Veil tour, as well as our ongoing programme in The Boo - and the forthcoming (and very exciting) 30th Anniversary book.
	ESTHER FERRY-KENNINGTON Company Administrator esther@horseandbamboo.org 01706 242941	Esther has recently joined us 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 the plants are dying from exhaustion.
	EMMA PORTER Accounts Clerk/ Admin Assistant emma@horseandbamboo.org 01706 242946	Emma sits at the desk nearest the office door guarding us all. She quietly, and sometimes not so quietly, keeps the office under control. She also distributes petty cash and our wages and pay, which makes her a very popular member of staff.
	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.
	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	Chris Davies, Vanessa Card, Tess Hills (Tour Manager); Zoilo Lobera; Nabil Musa; Tracy Bargate; Frances Merriman; Erik Knudsen.
	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.
