ARTISTIC POLICY
For 28 years, David Glass and the Ensemble have been making theatre that risks, experiments, innovates and celebrates. They have created 25 new pieces of physical and visual theatre and performed in 57 countries. The Ensemble is committed to performance, participation and learning. It creates powerful theatre; facilitates performance projects with marginalised young people through Lost Child International and trains in Arts Culture and Development through its S.E. Asia office and Centre For Creative Development in Cambodia. It is an associate company at Battersea Arts Centre, London.

FUTURE PRODUCTION
