Tessa Bide (Tiny and Tall Productions🎭) talks about selling a show that doesn't exist, having the guts to learn as you go, giving yourself a job when no one else will, and the importance of small theatre companies supporting each other.
Tessa is the Artistic Director of Tiny & Tall Productions, which she started as Tessa Bide Productions in 2013 and now runs with Alice Massey. With a rich portfolio of Arts Council England-funded family theatre productions, Tessa's work includes acclaimed shows like 'The Tap Dancing Mermaid' 🧜♀️, 'The Selfish Giant' 🏰, 'A Strange New Space' 🚀, 'The Anarchist's Mobile Library' 📚, and 'Bob' 🐾. Her productions, known for their original storytelling, dynamic use of puppetry, physical theatre, and music 🎶, tour nationally and internationally. 🌍✈️
Based in Bristol, Tessa is also an Associate Artist of Puppet Place 🎭 and a resident artist at the Pervasive Media Studio. She mentors emerging theatre makers and companies, including OfTheJackel, Spilt Ink, Bombinate Theatre, and Eleanor Pead. 🌟
