The Fabularium

This Fabularium began as a research project in 2010 as seven first year students from the Dance, Theatre and Professional Practice programme at Coventry Uni approached me with a desire to develop a piece of work to respond to the Higgs Trust funding opportunity. The call out was for work that focussed upon the re-establishment of The Coventry Mysteries Festival. The students requested a substantial project with which to develop performance skills and provide a professional work-experience opportunity beyond the university curriculum.

The Fabularium is now an independent outdoor theatre company, but remains an associate company of the Theatre & Professional Practice course at Coventry University.

The Fabularium tours work nationally and internationally, outdoors and indoors, to a variety of festivals, events, theatres, and rural touring venues. Our work ranges from midscale vibrant cart shows to energetic walkabout animations, bringing a burst of vitality to any outdoor space.
The Fabularium regularly works together with graduates and students from Coventry to teach adaptable skills used for working in the Outdoor Arts Sector and provide freelance working opportunities.
