About Us

The Occasion was founded in 2010 by Peter Clerke and Catherine Gillard. Previous to this they had both shared the Artistic Directorship of the Scottish touring theatre company, benchtours (1991 – 2009).

Our work is fully committed to producing dynamic theatre which widens access and participation in the arts.

It relies on a team of highly-experienced, international artists, working alongside the company’s Co-Artistic Directors. All have extensive experience in creating brilliantly innovative work.

We hope that you will join us in our adventures.
