Blind Summit Theatre was founded in 1997 by Nick Barnes and Mark Down to make new plays with puppets for adult audiences. Our work aims to challenge people's attitudes to puppetry. Our puppets are modern and our shows tackle contemporary issues that concern us. We are inspired by Philippe Genty, Handspring Theatre, The Wooster Group, the Sex Pistols. At a time when theatre is so under threat from the proliferation of new media, we think that puppetry is one of the areas which offers a unique live experience for audiences. We see puppetry as a radical part of the reinvention of theatre in our time. Puppets - Collaborators - Secret Methods - Training Blind Summit were BAC supported Artists for 2003/ 2004 |
