WHO WE ARE

Founded in 1982 by Michael Merwitzer and Siân Williams, the Kosh is a group of artists - dancers, actors, writers, designers, musicians and educationalists, devising original performance and video productions. The aim of the Kosh is to make the arts accessible and through the arts provide life enhancing experiences.

Performance events are aimed at wide ranging audiences and are performed in theatres, festivals, arts centres, village halls, schools and colleges. We tour throughout the United Kingdom and internationally and have performed in over thirty different countries.

Video productions are created in collaboration with different funding bodies and voluntary organisations and include the development of video programmes that focus on specific issues, such as, young people in pupil referral units, sex education in schools and people who are dealing with life threatening conditions.

Awards for Kosh productions include The Manchester Evening News Dance Theatre Award, The New York Festivals Film Award, The Cairo Experimental Theatre Award, The Chile Foreign Theatre Award and The Edinburgh Perrier 'Pick of the Fringe' Award.
