FoolsFURY creates acclaimed plays and performances employing the methodologies of ensemble and devised theater, including numerous world and West Coast premieres. Traits include inspired use of the human body in relating narrative, a dedication to nuanced poetic text, and a provocative combination of humor and outrage at the world around us (the “fool” and the “fury”). The company mixes realist and non-realist modes, inviting performers and audience members to inhabit multiple conceptual spaces and to vigorously engage their intellects and imaginations. In the past 10 years we have toured key productions both nationally and internationally, most recently bringing (dis)Place[d] to Chicago, Amherst MA, and the United Kingdom in 2019.

In addition to mainstage company productions, foolsFURY produces the biennial FURY Factory of Devised and Ensemble Theater in San Francisco, regularly bringing together over 30 ensemble artists and companies from across the nation for three weeks to perform and collaborate.

FoolsFURY offers rigorous theater training for professionals and the general community. Classes and workshops train theater artists in the Viewpoints and the Suzuki Method, dance-theater, and new models of performance. Workshops, retreats, and anti-racist trainings for the general public have fed the artistic ecosystem of the Bay Area for over 15 years.

Recently, to meet the demands of Covid-19 restrictions, foolsFURY has pivoted to an all-digital delivery, continuing to create new work and continue training and workshops.
