It was established in 1999 by Antonio Ribeiro.〔(Honour Bayes talks to Blue Elephant Theatre Manager & Programmer Jasmine Cullingford )〕 Niamh de Valera and Jo Sadler-Lovett are co-Artistic Directors of Blue Elephant Theatre, succeeding Jasmine Cullingford who stepped down in 2013.〔(Artistic Director Jasmine Cullingford ) 〕 The theatre has an eclectic programme, promoting cross-art-form work and all forms of theatre from physical and dance theatre to new writing and classics. Its aim is to nurture new and emerging artists across the performing arts. These have included Mamoru Iriguchi (''Evening Standard Best Design Award-Winner'' 2009), Levantes Dance Theatre (''Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust Award-Winner'' 2009]),〔(The Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust Award 2009 )〕 George Mann (''The Stage Best Solo Performer Award-Winner'' 2009) and Paul Morris (''Adopt A Playwright Award-Winner'' 2009).〔(Adopt A Playwright )〕 In 2009 Cullingford won the ''Best Venue Manager'' award from Fringe Report and in October 2013 the Blue Elephant won the inaugural Southwark Arts Forum Performing Arts Award for work that 'exemplifies the genre'. 〔()〕 ==Mervyn Peake== The Blue Elephant has forged a reputation for staging little-known works by Mervyn Peake. Following the success of these readings the theatre staged the Theatre Premiere of ''Noah's Ark'' which had previously been produced on BBC radio in the 1970s. This production was directed by Mhairi Grealis, who had also staged its rehearsed reading, and it was one of three productions shortlisted for offwestend.com's award for Best Production for Young People that year. On Friday 10 May 2013, the Blue Elephant presented a scratch work-in-progress theatre adaptation of Peake's novella "Boy in Darkness", performed by Gareth Murphy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blue Elephant Theatre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
