HISTORY


Bureau Of Silly Ideas, a not for profit organisation, was founded in 2002 by Roger ‘Gor’ Hartley and Claire ‘Kiwi’ Horan.

BOSI was formed to to explore the concept of engaging people with their public space and urban environment through the use of street theatre. Our creative territories have now moved beyond outdoor street theatre and we have built a reputation for working in all aspects of the public realm; museums and heritage sites, galleries, shopping centres, parks, theme parks, festivals, stations and airports. We are valued as experts in our field, regularly partaking in consultancy for high level public and private organisations. Based on our knowledge and ability to engage with audiences, we now receive opportunities to work with teams to develop creative ways of thinking and indeed, unique pathways to the arts, heritage and culture.

Since our founding, we have presented our unique work at over 300 locations across the UK, Europe and Australia to an estimated, 999,999 smiling people.
