A MESSAGE FROM STEPHEN WATCH NOW
BRYONY PERKINS, Associate Producer
Bryony Perkins trained as a contemporary dancer at The Place in London, toured internationally and choreographed for several dance and theater companies based in the UK. She danced for Punchdrunk, the world’s leading pioneers in immersive theater, and studied acting with clown-specialist Philippe Gaulier in Paris. As a singer-songwriter she fronted folk/soul/rock band Sparky In The Clouds, and produced a solo album. She is particularly interested in blurring the boundaries between art forms; improvisation; creating work that breaks down any false separation or unconscious hierarchy between audience and performer; and inviting the audience to participate more than they do in the classical theater setting.
