About Tangled Feet

Theatre ensemble Tangled Feet are experimenters in Physical Theatre and theatrical performance, working together as a unique performance collaborative to create work in new ways. The company believes in a process of complete improvisation and experimentation to devise exciting, challenging and surprising forms of theatre.

Tangled Feet aim to create theatre that captures an audience in a total experience and that stimulates audience’s imaginations; performances that inspire thought and question; looking beyond pieces of theatre full of answers towards something an audience can reflect upon and ‘experience.’

The company formed in September 2003, having trained at Middlesex University, London, studying Drama and Theatre Studies. Individually having worked in varying types of theatre by the end of the course the members met to work on a project combining all the facets that now constitute a major part of Tangled Feet's artistic ethos.
