About Us

Complicité is an international touring theatre company and charity, under the creative leadership of Artistic Director and co-founder Simon McBurney. Over four decades, we have played in more than 40 countries and won more than 50 awards. Through our live productions, streamed work and education and engagement, millions of people have encountered the work of “the most influential and consistently interesting theatre company working in Britain” (The Times).

We believe that experiencing extraordinary culture can transform people; inspiring creativity,delight, imagination and political action. For this reason, we strive to create art of exceptional quality, ambition and innovation, driven by brilliant ideas, and use this to engage the widest range of audiences and participants through the power of creativity, both in the UK and internationally.

Complicité’s recent work includes: the dance trilogy Figures in Extinction, a major new collaboration between Simon McBurney and Choreographer Crystal Pite with Nederlands Dans Theater, which premiered at Factory International in February and is currently on a European tour, the reimagined Mnemonic which played at the National Theatre in 2024, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead which achieved rave notices, toured internationally and was seen by over 78,000 people, Can I Live? a vital new digital performance about the climate catastrophe conceived, written and performed by Fehinti Balogun, The Encounter, as well as The Dark is Rising; an audio drama for BBC World Service and BBC Sounds based on Susan Cooper’s cult novel.

We take our responsibility as one of the UK’s most celebrated theatre companies seriously and are motivated not solely to create our own productions, but also to share what we’ve learnt and created with other artists, particularly those currently underrepresented in the arts. The familiarity of our name enables us to reach diverse communities across the UK and internationally, and through our engagement and education work, we empower those we connect with to embrace collaboration and risk-taking as vital to a creative, fulfilling life.

Alongside Simon McBurney’s work we support artists through our ‘Mudlarks’ strand, widening access and pro-actively seeking to support talented artists who are underrepresented in the theatre sector.

Our award-winning Creative Engagement programme includes professional development, work in schools and colleges and participatory projects with a range of communities.

Action on the Climate and Ecological Emergency is a burning thread running through all of our work and we have played a key role in Culture Declares Emergency, as well as in developing the Theatre Green Book.

2025 marks the company’s 42nd year.

Context, Opportunities and Challenges of Making and Touring Theatre in 2025

Complicité is a world-renowned national and international touring company with an immense repertoire of outstanding quality alongside the aspiration for a varied, pioneering and highly engaging future programme. It has healthy reserves and a growing slate of ambitious work across a variety of art forms.

But the costs of creating such theatre have sky-rocketed and the marketplace for touring theatre is still uncertain after Covid, even for Complicité.

The company is embracing the need for reinvention in order to guarantee its future. At the same time, we have taken the opportunity provided by Arts Council England's NPO-Transfer programme to build that change into the process of business transformation which is necessary for all arts organisations in the coming years.

With an ethos and way of working established over 40 years of practice, Complicité is a company that never stands still.

East London Waterworks Park is a volunteer-led charity that has won a 2024 New London Architecture award and raised £2m towards buying land from the Department for Education to transform the 14-acre Thames Water Depot on Lea Bridge Road on the border of Waltham Forest and Hackney, into a new biodiverse park with natural swimming ponds, forest schools and community spaces. 

If you are a good writer and seller of ideas, would you like to join our mini-team of funding bid writers? We would especially love to hear from you if you have experience of writing funding applications, and we are happy to share the skills we have developed with you if you would like to learn.

The Fundraising Circle currently meets fortnightly on a Thursday evening on Google Meet and spends voluntary time outside of the meeting completing agreed tasks remotely. We understand that people may not have a lot of time to give, so we want to find volunteers who could give us one-off or ongoing strategic advice and support.

If you have experience in writing grants and funding applications, corporate fundraising, philanthropy, or any other aspect of fundraising, it would be great to hear from you. 

We are keen fundraisers but we are lacking professional expertise and experience and we would love your help and input. We would welcome one-off advice on the phone or in person, as well as longer term volunteers. 

We would also love to hear from potential volunteers without experience but with transferable skills.

East London Waterworks Park is an exciting and ambitious project that offers many rewarding opportunities for our volunteers. You will have a significant impact on the creation of a new biodiverse community-owned park with free access natural swimming ponds and forest schools. 

By leading fundraising projects that explore how diverse professionals (architects, ecologists, web developers, community researchers etc.) collaborate to shape community infrastructure, volunteers will directly contribute to the development of a park that truly reflects the needs and desires of the local community. 

Without funding we won’t be able to make it happen. Your input will help us craft experiences that inspire, educate, and engage our service users, stakeholders, funders, and the general public, ultimately driving support for the park's mission and ensuring its long-term sustainability. So you will be directly contributing to the creation of a new biodiverse community-owned park with free access natural swimming ponds.
