About
Coney are interactive theatre-makers. They create games, adventures and play where people can choose to take a meaningful part. Their work takes place anywhere that people gather: in theatres, schools, museums, on the streets and online and always follows the principles of adventure, curiosity and loveliness.Coney are returning to Margate having recently run the project We The People (of Margate) in partnership with Theatre Royal Margate, as part of Margate NOW Margate Festival.
Tassos Stevens first got involved with what was to become Coney in 2004 when he answered a ringing phone passed him by a stranger. He coined the name Coney as a front in 2006, and is now the (artistic) director and runner (aka joint chief executive) of the company with Becki Haines.
As a maker on projects, he most frequently works as any of director, writer, interaction designer, facilitator, often designing for impact and learning.
