Knuckle and Joint was born in 2014 and is run by Director/Producer, Bex O'Brien and supported by Associate Artist, Peter Morton.
K&J has created and toured multiple visually stunning productions with intricate puppets and silly characters. We adapt familiar stories to be enjoyed in a new, modernized and interactive show for early years and young children. We are proactive in the arts scene of South East London and Kent through leading workshops, creating performance and being a resident company at Churchill Theatre.
K&J thrives to create wonderfully visceral worlds through intelligent puppet design and innovative visual theatre for young audiences to relish. Our children’s theatre is fun, passionate and gloriously silly.
