Artistic Director
Under the name “Flying Fox”, Rachel Pattison and Richard Krutzsch create theatre experiences for children and young people.
There are only a few elements on stage, but they appear again and again. Voice, songs, music and movement are used deliberately. Their greatest role models and sources of inspiration: the young people they play for, their unselfconscious way of playing and free way of fantasising.
