Bamboozle Theatre Company

Artistic Directors: Christopher Davies, Sue Pyecroft We also work with teachers, carers parents and siblings.

Bamboozle specialises in working with learning disabled children and young people, as well as those with emotional and behavioural difficulties. Bamboozle believes that each of these young people, many of whom have high degrees of dependency and complex needs, has a voice and a desire to learn and grow that needs to be recognised. This voice and desire can be expressed and encouraged through engaging with artists and participating in the performing arts.
