Forced Entertainment

six, twelve and even 24 hours at a stretch. We’re still trying to answer our questions about theatre and performance – about what those things are for us and what kinds of dialogue they can open with contemporary audiences. The work we make is always a kind of conversation or negotiation. We’re interested in making performances that excite, frustrate, challenge, question and entertain. We’re interested in confusion as well as in laughter. As well as performance works we’ve made gallery installations, site-specific pieces, books, photographic collaborations, videos and even a mischievous guided bus tour. We’re based in Sheffield but we present the work we make all over the world.
