Taking it to the streets

For a small-scale touring company, Pursued by a Bear (PbAB) does an awful lot. From employing a company writer, to working within schools as part of the government’s Creative Partnerships scheme, to collaborating with the British Antarctic Survey, the company’s work continues to diversify since director Stuart Mullins founded it five years ago. PbAB has recently won a contract to create England’s first urban touring network, East Thames Touring – and now Mullins is applying his vision to support culturally diverse works and practitioners within the inaugural scheme.
