ALICE & ALICE
8 minutes. Repeatable walk-about or 25 minute stage show. |

THE NESTSA surreal roving act. Twitchers have spent so long bird-watching that their heads have transformed into nests. As the performers slowly move around the site, birds appear from inside the nests, surprising and delighting an amazed audience. Some of the birds are mechanical, others hand puppets. |
THE MAFIA WEDDINGUp to 30 minutes. The birth of Maria's baby is dangerously imminent. Her father, the Don, is not happy. She needs a husband, a bridesmaid, a priest, a congregation, even a surgeon, if the baby arrives. Perhaps the public will help. It's an offer they can't refuse. |

DUEL IN THE SONG5 minutes. Repeatable walk-about.

THE PAINTERS
Three beautifully costumed Augustine clowns move in a convoluted path in a stylized and hypnotic manner. They carry tickle-sticks and a picnic box. They drink from coloured bottlesand then vomit paint onto a large cloth, gurgling out an artist’s name (preferably from the Abstract Expressionist school). Their movement becomes more frenzied, the laughter more sinister. An expressionist painting appears on the cloth. They auction the cloth using nonsense language. |

AUDREY & AUDREYTwo cleaning ladies with mime and sound effects. They talk much more than they clean. |

Cocoloco can tailor workshops for any need, any time and anybody - the scared, the bold, young, old, the established performer or the underconfident businessperson. We give very good workshop! satisfaction guaranteed!! Look what some of our customers have written: "I was a washed up clown until I met Cocoloco, now I'm working at the Millennium Dome and loving it". (Billy Donut , Clown) "I couldn't walk out of the house without shivering with fear of failure in society. Cocoloco helped me see myself anew. I can look people in the eye and say 'I exist and I am proud of my existence!". (Glenda Ainsworth, Person) "Cocoloco quite simply and devastatingly gave me the power, the will and the ability to restart my company and put us well into the high profit margin we now enjoy". (Richard Boulton, Company Director) |

THE LECTURE Performance Art has mockingly been described as "... a naked woman standing in a gallery holding a dead chicken". Cocoloco brings the life back into the chicken. (Brian Popay - Natural Theatre, Bath) "...many lectures on Live Art and Theatre simply present slides and videos of the lecturer's own work. Cocoloco also presents slides and videos of other people's work which is better than their own! " (Lois Keidan - Live Art Development Agency) |
"...for all their iconoclasm and humour, Cocoloco actually does have a serious agenda." (Alex Mavro - King Alfred's College, Winchester) For the more sensitive and uninitiated, Cocoloco can also provide a 'soft-core' lecture which glosses over violent and sexual subjects. The lecture looks at the history of performance and studies the classic pieces of the famous, the big breakthrough moments and the major movements as well as the less well known and obscure artists. The pace is fast and the information overwhelming, but the experience is unforgettable. Suitable for anybody interested in performance, art and culture. THE WORKSHOP Cocoloco's workshops can meet any brief. We specialize in performance workshops tailored to meet the requirements of students at any level. Beginning with physical appreciation and co-ordination skills, working up through mime, improvisation, games and vocal exercises to a testing, psychological and dramatic finale, we run a stimulating course, which really promotes confidence and creative ability. Our workshops are also suitable for corporate clients. Whether it's for Team Building, Confidence Boosting, Public Speaking or Group Awareness, Cocoloco can help. The workshop is presented in three hour blocks (including coffee!) suitable for half-day, full day or up to a week. We prefer group size to be limited to 20. We can handle bigger but as Socrates said, overpopulation leads to degradation. Please contact us for further details. |

'The Alice & Alice Bus Tour takes you to more places than the route map shows. It's a heady drive down nostalgia lane which leaves you discombobulated and smiling like a Cheshire cat.
