What does the work of Kabosh do?
– Provide innovative, bespoke theatre production in unique spaces;
– Increase footfall and generate additional spend for a space/site/business;
– Curate audience and visitor experiences to offer a positive platform for cultural dialogue between residents, tourists and business;
– Develop break-even models of operation that can be revived at cost and provide strong return on investment, sustainability and customer value for money.

Kabosh’s work in Cultural Tourism is the result of continued demand from local authorities, business/special interest groups and arts organisations looking for creative ways to increase visitors to their site, building or space. This work is typically to commission or co-production, and Kabosh frequently work with partners to seek funding opportunities so these events can be realised.
