Thomas Pidd is a multidisciplinary performer and arts practitioner – a legit jack of all trades, he is as comfortable with physical theatre, a shakespearean soliloquy or teasing out the intricacies of building and installing artwork for major festivals and venues. Pidd has worked with wide range of Australian and International artists and companies. Originally from Tasmania, he has called Perth, Sydney and Melbourne home, while working all around the country. An acting graduate of NIDA, Pidd has gone on to work across a variety of industries within the arts, including film, dance, children’s entertainment, festivals and events, but it’s theatre, comedy and cabaret that constantly captivates him and where his interest for creating work lies.
A Friendly Beast was founded by Thomas, and is the name in which we producer this work and many others.
