Productions

Since launching Clod Ensemble in 1995, Artistic Directors Suzy Willson & Paul Clark have developed a highly original performance language in collaboration with artists, dancers, actors, musicians, medics, architects, orchestras and poets.

Our productions are visually stunning and aurally complex. Each Clod Ensemble performance has its own distinctive visual and musical identity. We create live performances at different scales, in different locations and for different kinds of venues  – in theatres, dance houses, museums, galleries and public spaces.

We often curate programmes of workshops, panel discussions or listening parties to run alongside our productions, allowing audiences to delve deeper into ideas and themes of our work.
