About Motion Sickness
Based in Cornwall.
Led by award winning creatives.
With 25 years' experience of working on some of the biggest shows in the world.
We want to make theatre that reaches young and old alike, that awakens, feeds and indulges the inner child.
We want to deliver theatre to under-served communities as well as top theatre spaces and we want to make brilliant, original work.
Meet the directors
Hello! We started Motion Sickness in 2025 after touring the world in numerous shows. We'd met 6 years earlier and had been lucky enough to work together on several occasions during that time. Motion Sickness was born out of a desire to make original work with an emphasis on new stories, created in brave, kind and playful rehearsal rooms.
