Birdbone Theatre makes puppet shows from scratch and plays them live for the young and the old. We strive to make puppet theatre that might become a house for beauty, for remembering old songs and stories, for wild imaginings and for laughter in hard times. We keep in mind that theatre is a way by which we can know the times we live in, and a way by which the times might recognize us.
We craft our shows with materials at hand, layering techniques, and a vast musicality. We do not banish the unfinished and imperfect in our shows, instead we often play our work in its experimental stages to learn about it. We play music, sing and dance to keep it company. Birdbone theatre is Possibilitarian at heart because it was forged at the Bread and Puppet Theatre under the work of Peter Schumann, and also because it has no choice.
Birdbone Theatre is Aleksandra Bragoszewska (puppeteer, artistic director) and Alison Gowan (puppeteer, musical director). Alison Boyce works with us on a per-project basis. The theatre is based in Lyndhurst, Ontario.
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
