E-Co

At THE HERDS, we’re pushing the boundaries of puppetry with our groundbreaking training programme, The Emerging Company (E-Co).

This dynamic initiative offers talented performers an unparalleled opportunity to hone their craft, travelling across Europe with THE HERDS for an unforgettable ten-week adventure. From Southern Europe to Scandinavia, E-Co members are immersed in world-class performances and expert-led workshops. This is no ordinary training – it’s a transformative journey that blends hands-on learning with real-world experiences.

E-Co empowers the next generation of puppetry storytellers, giving them the tools and confidence to tackle pressing global issues through the magical art of puppetry. Meet our passionate team of performers, each driven to create change, and get to know the talented faces who are shaping the future of theatre.
