About

Icon Theatre is a UK touring company producing rich visual and physical theatre. Working with diverse collaborators from different backgrounds, each of our shows generates a unique combination of theatrical techniques, blurring the boundaries between movement, text, film, dance, mask, mime, music and puppetry.

With a flair for circus skills and mask work, artistic director Nancy Hirst has also directed shows for the Young Vic, Soho Theatre, Yvonne Arnaud and Opera North. Designer Lucille Acevedo-Jones has created productions at the Riverside Studios, the Trafalgar Studios (West End) and the RSC. Their last joint production won the Stephen Arlen Award from the ENO.

'Icon Theatre reminds us that performers who can act, sing, dance, tumble and mime are as exciting as the most spectacular pyrotechnics'
