Cahoot?! Physical Theatre

CAHOOT?! Physical Theatre aims to subvert economic, geographic, and social boundaries by making innovative theatre available to everyone.

We desire to challenge artistic expectations and to spark conversations. We seek to create work that is subversive, evocative, persistent, fluid, thrilling, unabashed, colorful, empathetic, and alive — curiously strange, remarkably human. 

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Cahoot?! Physical Theatre was established in 2018 by 5 performers and artists from across the country and beyond.

Co-founders Jacob Snyder Timmons (North Carolina), Emilia Björk Perkins (Sweden), Chase Perkins (New Hampshire), Graham Casper Haught (California), and Eric William Jones (Wisconsin) met and began dreaming of this ensemble while studying together at Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre, the premier institute for physical theatre in the world. All five artists spent three years honing their craft and began to devise wholly original work. 

 At the core of our mission is a radical idea: theatre (and art) should be available to everyone. Our goal is to create high-quality productions available to the public in the community and without a price tag. By doing this, we hope to break down the barriers of location, income, and class to bring innovative theatre to everyone.  Help us bring free theatre and theatre education to all!

Deep down, we're big believers in the life-changing magic of art. We use physical theatre to tell stories that are both entertaining and thought-provoking, and we aim to challenge our audiences to see the world in a new way. But, here's the thing: The arts can be a real money pit, leaving some folks on the sidelines. That's why our shows and workshops are free for everyone! We believe that everyone deserves to experience the magic of live theatre. 

This past year, we finished developing our second original show, “A Red Herring”! We performed this farcical, nautical detective mystery at the Gremlin Theatre in St. Paul in May – but we’re not retiring Salty Sloane McNulty any time soon! Keep your eyes peeled for announcements in the future… With your support, we can bring Salty to more people – for free!

Our theme for this holiday season is “Laying Down Roots” - just like a tree, we are seeking to expand our roots deep into the soil of the Twin Cities so that we can flourish and reach new heights. With your generous financial support, CAHOOT?! Physical Theatre can grow from a seed to a luscious, solid oak and offer more free theatre performances and education to everyone in the Twin Cities community! Join us as we remount A Red Herring, provide more educational opportunities, build international partnerships, develop new works, and deepen our community engagement and capacity for working with more artists. Together, we’ll continue to make high-quality theatre arts programming available to all members of our community and act upon our belief that the arts belong to everyone. Our goal for the rest of 2023 is to raise $2000. Can we get there together? Click HERE to donate!
