Footsbarn began life in cornwall in 1971 rehearsing in a barn owned by the Foot family, hence it's name. In 1984 the company left Britain to take it's brand of theatre to international audiences and remained without a base until 1991 when a farm was purchased in central France, La Chaussée. Today it's base is both a fully equipped production centre complete with workshops, rehearsal space, office and studios but also a centre for education. Over the last 15 years Footsbarn has organised and staged numerous workshops, which have been taught by both actors from the company as well as proffessionals associated with Footsbarn. At present plans are being drawn up for a permanent school offering courses to both undergraduates and professionals.
