Zoo Performance

Our performance work focuses on accessibility, innovation and collaboration, creating performances that are both entertaining, challenging and thought provoking.

Sometimes we work as a collaborative.

We produce text based performance that is highly visual with a strong autobiographical influence, using humour, popular music and the reprocessing of cultural images to explore those things that are both out of this world and of the everyday.

Sometimes we perform as a duo.

Our duo work often mimics the tradition of the double act whilst exploring performative opposites, femininity and competition.

Sometimes we play with magical illusions

The work uses a fragmented contemporary performance approach to tell stories and combine narratives. New technology is introduced as an integral element to examine the possibilities of the virtual presence and mixed realities.

Sometimes it’s just us. No tricks.

Most recently we are developing our interest in the accidental, anecdotal and autobiographical and explorations of parental relationships in performance and using skype video calls to support family links as a comment on the shift from physical to technology based communication systems.
