ARTISTIC POLICY
Pacitti Company has spent two decades touring award-winning, radical new performance works worldwide. Pacitti Company also produces the SPILL Festival Of Performance, the UK's premiere artist-led biennale of experimental theatre and live art. Socially-engaged and process-led, Pacitti Company approaches performance-making as investigation through research. The company blends formal disciplines and techniques with social sciences and personal politics. This bespoke process enables Pacitti Company to serve audiences with works of vital artistic and cultural value, while always remaining accessible.
