Biography

Curious was formed in 1996 by Leslie Hill and Helen Paris. Since then, the company has developed a reputation for its edgy, humorous interrogations of contemporary culture and politics, work that has been called as smart as it is seductive.

Curious have produced 40 projects in a range of media including live performance, installation, publication and film. Each project starts with a question and the subsequent investigation involves intimate, personal journeys alongside public research and enquiry.

Curious are Artsadmin artists.  Helen Paris directs the Contemporary Performance Making MA at Brunel University where she is a Reader in Drama. Leslie Hill co-directs the practice-based PhD programme at SMARTlab, University of East London. (For more information on courses, please see Teaching.)
