A group of six artists started working together in 1984 and in the many projects they have created tried to explore what theatre and performance can mean in contemporary life.
In doing so, They’ve made lists, played games, spoken gibberish, stayed silent, made a mess, dressed up, stripped down, confessed to it all, performed magic tricks, told jokes, clowned around, played dead, told stories and performed for six, twelve and even 24 hours at a stretch.
It’s seriously playful work, and they’re still trying to answer the questions about theatre and performance – about what those things might be and what kind of dialogue they can open with contemporary audiences.
As well as performance works, they’ve made gallery installations, site-specific pieces, books, photographic collaborations, videos and even a mischievous guided bus tour.
