Us
Jumblies Theatre expands where art happens, who gets to be part of it, what forms it takes and which stories it tells. The impulse to entangle things social and aesthetic in new ways leads us to work outside of specialized art places, and to place participants at the core of our projects, as a bridge between artists and audience.

We adopt and play with established forms of theatre and arts production placed in unusual situations, with equal attention to all stages (before, during, after). Our productions and presentations, albeit highly-produced, are steps in a process, whose ultimate product is the experience, the change wrought, and the memory - the transient micro-utopia and its after-effects.
Our work involves three mutually supportive, interwoven strands:
- Jumblies Ventures, undertaking multi-year residencies and producing new works, passing through phases of research, creation, production, and legacy while forming partnerships and involving several hundred people and several dozen skilled artists and along the way;
- Jumblies Offshoots, maintaining relationships with people and places, and supporting new leadership and sustainable community arts initiatives; and
- Jumblies Studio, training and mentoring artists and promoting learning, research, discourse, play and experimentation.
