Dog and String is a touring theatre founded in
1995. The company
is based in
Ireland and has toured in Ireland, The UK, Greece,Spain and France
performing in Art Centres, Theatres, Festivals, Community Halls, schools
and on the street.
It
was founded by professional visual artists who felt there was an
opportunity to bring visually stimulating work to younger audiences who
did not have easy access to art galleries or theatres. In the spirit of
multidisciplinary art work Dog
and String has brought together musicians who act, sculptors who write,
artists who are puppeteers, trolls that dance and actors who teach.
Storytelling, live music, rod puppets, hand puppets, shadow puppets,
life size figures, masks and mime, are all used to create plays which
engage children in a lively interaction with the world of the
imagination.
Original music is an important element in the productions and is
specially composed for each show. The company is currently offering four
productions suitable for different age groups and audience types.
