ABOUT DOG SPOON

Dog Spoon is a performance company that creates theatre using various permutations of clown, visual theatre and text to explore the human story. Founded by Andrew Cory in 2017, Dog Spoon is the culmination of Andrew’s theatre practice spanning over 25 years.

Dog Spoon works with the highest calibre artists to develop and present theatre that is poetic, immediate and urgent. We aim to make work that uses a heightened theatricality to beguile, seduce, entertain and inspire our audiences. We are not afraid to mix the light with the dark, skilfully balancing both to create theatrical experiences from the hilarious to the haunted.

In 2017 Dog Spoon produced a brand new absurdist work called Two Guys In A Box for the 2017 Brisbane Festival. Following the success of that season we will explore touring the work in 2019 and beyond. Meanwhile stay tuned for new works and development outcomes.
