Company Bad is a collective of artists who have worked between Australia and South Korea for two decades.
We experiment with the interweaving of cultures in performance, employing processes and creating experiences that are queer, radical, multilingual, and responsive.
We use story, song, and design - embracing conventions from a range of performance styles, from children’s theatre to Korean folk performance, to conjure new aesthetics.
Our work is inspired by and generated through our commitment to long term friendships, and we are always on the look of for new opportunities to connect.
