ARTISTIC POLICY
Kabosh is committed to innovation in theatre practice and producing cutting-edge theatre which challenges the notion of what theatre is and where it takes place. The company aims to reinvent the ways in which stories are told, commissioning new writing and devising work for site-specific environments and installation.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
'The Waiting Room is a little stairway to an hour and a half of heaven… unmissable magic.' News Letter

'Who can resist one minute of thrilling storytelling? Another superb invention from the innovators of theatre in Ireland.' The Irish News (A Minute of Your Time)

'The musical excellence and sheer theatrical panache of this production from Kabosh comes flying delightfully out of nowhere, full marks.' The Guardian (Todd… The Demon Barber of Fleet Street)

CURRENT PRODUCTION
60 Seconds A one-minute, location-specific, piece of theatre performed to an individual audience member. Each piece can be performed many times and reinvented to suit the theme of the umbrella festival, conference or event.(1 actor and 1 crew for each piece)

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
Legacy Three darkly humorous 20-minute new plays by Fergal McElherron exploring the subject of legacy. Is it worth killing for?

Belfast Unseen A promenade character-led project on which the audience experience site-specific performance in shops they mightn’t normally frequent. This will combine original and published theatre text.

Where are the new radicals? Multi-location, site-specific project commemorating the Belfast Dock Strike of 1907 which will use historical fact and newly commissioned work to comment on the racially mixed workforce of 2007.

WRAP-AROUND ACTIVITY
Post-show discussions with actors, writer, director, design team, depending on production. Presentations about site-specific performance. Workshops on related themes with writers/performers
