Nightsong

ABOUT US:
We strive to deliver unique and innovative New Zealand works with high production values. Our works mix rich poetic language with music, visual arts, puppetry, illusion and choreographed movement. We believe theatre is the perfect space to incorporate all art forms. We are risk-takers. Our work pushes boundaries. We want to excite and surprise both the practitioners involved in the making of the work and the audiences watching the final performance in regards to what is possible theatrically.

We possess a deep love and passion for the theatre art form. We believe that theatre should be a transformative experience – that audiences should go into the theatre space and come away seeing the world in a new way. Or at least seeing the possibility that the world around us is not always as it seems.

Ben Crowder is an independent director with Theatre Stampede, and Carl Bland is an independent Actor/Writer/Painter/Director with Nightsong Productions. We have been working together, on a project-to-project basis, for 10 years, and between us we have over 50 years of experience in the New Zealand theatre landscape.

Theatre Stampede and Nightsong Productions are in the process of coming together to form a single company to be launched later in 2016 with a new name.
