Sue Broadway is a director, performer, teacher and producer of Circus and Physical Theatre specialising in clown and vaudeville. Her repertoire includes a number of pieces suitable for cabaret, theatre, site specific and roving work.  She also offer workshops, training, and creative development processes.

The Court of Cups.Titania the Queen of cups and her vassal Jeff play percussion on their suits of armour, made from Kitchen implements, dance a courting ritual and juggle metallic objects.  Platform piece lasts 10 minutes. Can be done roving. Ideally requires wooden floor or similar surface. Very funny and a bit rude (but not too rude!).

The Ancient Australian Tea Ceremony

Platform piece. A virtuoso piece in which Sue attempts to make tea with first the pot and then the cup balanced on her head. Screamingly Funny.

Workshops: Clowning, Juggling, Acrobalance, Aerial. Suitable for all ages. Contact us for details.

The Act Laboratory

This intensive process offers a safe but challenging environment where performers can bring material at any stage of development - from a half formed idea to a sticky spot in a show thatıs already up and running - and expose it to the supportive but also critical eye of an experienced director. The rest of the group of students plays an essential role in providing an enthusiastic audience and a range of honest feedback.
