pigfoot theatre
London
Multi-award winning Pigfoot Theatre tell stories about the climate and
ecological crisis, with the least carbon impact possible. An associate company
of English Touring Theatre (ETT), our work ‘practises what it preaches’ (The
Sunday Times on Pigfoot) and protests within an industry which, in London alone,
has a carbon footprint of 50,000 tonnes a year. Our bike-powered family comedy
‘How To Save A Rock’ has toured with ETT to Northern Stage and Theatre By The
Lake, with Battersea Arts Centre & Found in Music, and with support from Slung
Low to the Albany, Camden People’s Theatre, Poplar Union, the Pound Arts Centre,
and more. HOT IN HERE (an energy-generating dance party), co-produced by the
Gate Theatre, commissioned and supported by Camden People's Theatre, toured
across the UK in Autumn 2022 to venues including Theatre by the Lake, York
Theatre Royal, MAST Southampton, the North Wall Arts Centre, the egg Bath, mac
Birmingham, ARC Stockton Arts Centre, Nonsuch Studios, and Contact Manchester.
Our new show, Hostile Environments, supported by Boundless Theatre’s Accelerator
programme, will begin development in 2023. We have also run workshops, delivered
sustainability consultancy, and run engagement programmes for organisations
including the National Theatre, Southbank Centre, Rambert, HOME Manchester, and
Guildhall School of Speech and Drama. Pigfoot began in Oxford, producing
site-specific work by the River Thames and at the Oxford Playhouse. Pigfoot
became carbon-neutral in 2018 - find out more about our methods and about what
being an environmentally sustainable company means here.
