Friendly Fire is an experimental improvisation company of actors, dancers and musicians directed by Remy Bertrand, musical director Roddy Skeaping.

Our name stands for the gathering place where the first songs were sung and the first stories told, long time ago. It also stands for a wartime blue-on-blue hit, when your mate accidentally shot you in the back. This is in memory of all the amazing improvisation scenes killed in the nest to get a laugh. We try to do the opposite. Listening so much, caring so much and getting in such a state of synchronicity that it'd make a tree hugging hippy wana puke.

Performers include Roderick Millar, Joanne Gibso (tuba), Fiona Nitsche, Kevin Plummer (guitare), Liam O'Neill, Noreena Hertz, Szilvia Kaczkó Keffert, Benni Lehne, Debbie Kent, Rachael Perrin (clarinet), Jenni Parkinson (marimba) and others...
