ARTISTIC POLICY
Good cop bad cop creates art work for a variety of contexts and locations, combining skills in photography, video, performance and text. Drawing on both historical and contemporary themes and references, performances frequently push the performers’ physical endurance to their limits.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘The spectators are implicated in the discovery of the unknown within their familiar environment… A novel idea, the experience is unexpected and original.’ La Presse

‘Difficult to define and impossible to categorise, which is the sign of a creative and unique production.’ Vibes

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
In A Change to the Advertised Programme Based on the life and lost works of pioneering film-maker William Haggar. (70 mins, 3 on stage, 4 on the road.)

Mas o Amser A physical and audio performance, performed at dusk in close proximity to the audience. How to behave in the face of ultimate doom. Includes nudity. (Duration variable, 2 on stage, 3 on the road.)

Untitled Plus Support A physical and text-based work that explores, and subverts, the conventions and iconography of the press conference. (Duration variable, 3 on stage, 4 on the road.)

Left Footers A physical meditation on the condition of the migrant, the outsider, the other, and that which is left behind. Performed outdoors. (45 mins. 1 or 3 performers, 1 to 3 on the road.)

FUTURE PRODUCTION
Cynulliad Durational ambient performance in urban, rural and sub-rural landscapes. (Duration variable, up to 50 local performers, 3 on the road.)

WRAP-AROUND
Workshops, seminars, exhibition and lectures may form part of the company's presentations. It is keen to undertake residencies and to collaborate with professional and amateur practitioners. Its workshop, In All Languages concentrates on developing a structured physical language and how this can be articulated and mediated to produce performances. Good Cop Bad Cop is keen to train local performers to participate in existing and new collaborative productions.
