GOOFUS THEATRE IS A TOURING THEATRE COMPANY CREATING ORIGINAL PIECES WITH MASK, PUPPETRY, CLOWNING, PLAY AND MUSIC. THE MAJORITY OF GOOFUS WORK IS NON- VERBAL AND AIMED AT AUDIENCES WHERE THEATRE ISN'T EASILY ACCESSED FOR VARIOUS REASONS. WE ARE A NOT FOR PROFIT COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY.
THE COMPANY WORKS WITH SMALL CASTS OF NO MORE THAN FOUR PERFORMERS. GOOFUS WORK IN VARIOUS PERFORMANCE SETTINGS RANGING FROM FESTIVALS, STREETS, UNDER TENTS, DISUSED SHOPS, FOYERS, FORESTS, COMMUNITY SPACES, MUSEUMS, CARE HOMES, HOSPITALS AND CONVENTIONAL THEATRE SPACES.
GOOFUS PERFORMERS ARE VERY EXPERIENCED AND ADAPTABLE IN WORKING/DEVISING VERY QUICKLY, PLAYING TO ALL AGES IN ALL SETTINGS. THEIR SKILLS ARE FROM MANY DIVERSE PERFORMING BACKGROUNDS INCLUDING CIRCUS, STREET THEATRE, CLOWNING, PUPPETRY AND MASK WORK.
WE BELIEVE THEATRE PERFORMANCE SHOULD HAVE NO BORDERS. WE BELIEVE ACCESS TO OUR STYLE OF PERFORMANCE IS FOR ALL AGES, ALL BACKGROUNDS, EVERYWHERE. WE BELIEVE IN A THEATRE THAT IS MISCHIEVOUS, FUNNY, STRANGE, MOVING, FANTASTICAL, SURREAL AND DREAMLIKE. WE LOVE FOLKTALES, MYTH AND MAGIC.
