Movingstage Marionette Co - The Puppet Theatre Barge

Movingstage was established in 1979 with the aim of producing marionette theatre. In 1982 the company opened a theatre on a river barge. The Puppet Theatre Barge has been open for over twenty years and during that time it has hosted thousands of performances. It is now an established venue on the London theatre scene and is based in Little Venice, close to Marble Arch. Each year during the summer, the floating theatre makes a tour of the river Thames. The company aims to present innovative quality theatre with a view to raising the status and profile of the marionette worldwide. It therefore continues to commission new scripts and musical scores, whenever possible, from contemporary writers and composers. The company has an active educational policy and runs a programme of work in schools every year and has undertaken four British Council tours, has received funding from The Arts Council, Westminster Arts and the City of Westminster.
