Where the company plays

From an intimate cultural evening to a festival headline or a full theatre production. The performance changes with the room, the audience and the event.

  • Theatres

    Full productions and Afrikan Warriors Live, scaled to the house.

  • Festivals

    Street, outdoor and programmed stages, from intimate sets to headline slots.

  • Circuses

    Residencies and touring seasons with established circus companies.

  • Theme Parks

    Repeat daily shows built for families and high visitor numbers.

  • Corporate Events

    A contained performance shaped around the room, the brand and the schedule.

  • Television

    Stage craft that holds on camera, from talent shows to filmed specials.

  • Cultural Events

    African performance presented with the company that has carried it for decades.

  • Private Events

    Celebrations that need a company, not a solo act dropped into a timetable.
