debase has been creating comic performance for theatre since 1998.
We believe theatre is for everyone. We believe theatre should not take itself too seriously. We believe theatre is a dialogue between makers and audiences. It should never be a monologue. We believe theatre can be a place for black and white artists to come together to dream the future.
We are a core team of three theatre makers – Bridget Boyle, Robert Kronk and Liz Skitch.
debase was the recipient of the Gold Matilda Award (2018) for outstanding contribution to theatre in Queensland.
debase is a not for profit company.
And, yes, we took our name from that Pixies song.
