Our Premise

"Dedicated to providing thought-provoking theatre that honors the truth — however difficult it may be to face."

01 — About

We blur the lines between
performance and reality.

I
Truth in Performance

We honor the truth, however difficult it may be to face. Our work does not offer easy answers — it offers honest questions posed to an audience willing to sit with discomfort.

II
New Modalities

We investigate the process of performance creation and aim to develop new modalities to achieve it — pushing beyond conventional theatrical forms into territory that hasn't been mapped yet.

III
Risk as Language

We value risk-taking to challenge audiences' perception of performance. The uncomfortable moment is where the real work begins. Safety is for warehouses, not stages.

IV
Total Theatre

We utilize all elements of theatrical storytelling dynamically — sound, body, space, light, and silence are equally weighted instruments. No hierarchy of form.

What's Coming.

In development — A Play or Something

Current · Los Angeles

A Play or Something….
Working Title — By Who Cares

Non-Plus Ultra, Los Angeles

A script written for the devised process. A group committed to the making. Our first showing went up at Non-Plus Ultra, and the audience is asking for the whole thing.

Come back here for updates as the work develops.

A History.

Misster Blue — 2019 production
2019
2019 · Portland, Oregon

Misster Blue

CoHo Theatre, Portland

Utilizing the structure of Maurice Ravel's Bolero, the forms of Anne Adam's painting "Unraveling Bolero," and the aesthetics of Bowerbird mating rituals — Misster Blue was conceived as a journey of self-realization.

Accompanied by sound created then distorted from an audio recording of a poem, the audience is invited to take a dharmic journey of repeated loop structures that eventually give way to discover a beauty in the repetition as each moment passes.

04 — The Ensemble

The People.

Robert "Bobcat" Augustine is a devised theatre maker. After graduating from Portland State University and training at PETE's Institute of Contemporary Performance, he devised two full-length productions in The Viewpoints, Suzuki Method, and Clown. He went on to live in a camper and travel the US sharing clown and theatre in untraditional spaces — from Nevada City camps to a circus school in Battambang, Cambodia, where he translated The Viewpoints into Khmer. Also trained with South Coast Repertory, Del'Arte International, The Red Bastard, and The Actor's Gang.
