Meet the Artists Advisory Group
3 July 2025
Without Walls has appointed 7 artists via an Open Call process to join the Artists Advisory Group for 2025.
We welcome 7 artists to the Without Walls Artists Advisory Group, a programme designed to amplify the voices of a diversity of artists in the networks enabling collaborative conversations with the outdoor arts community.
Following an Open Call which closed on 29th May, 11 expressions of interest were received. The selection was made by a panel consisting of representatives of the Without Walls partners and independent voices who are not directly involved in the management of the network.
The Artists Advisory Group have supported our most recent Open Call: 2026 programme, providing guidance on the application process and public announcement.

Theodore Pin is the director and co-founder of Four-Eyed Theatre, a playful and pioneering outdoor arts company made up of young professionals at the beginning of their creative journeys. With a background rooted in physical theatre, clowning, and devised performance, Theodore has trained at renowned institutions including L’École Internationale de Théâtre Philippe Gaulier and Helikos International School, studying under celebrated teachers such as Philippe Gaulier, Jos Houben, Giovanni Fusetti, and John Wright. His training has taken him across Paris, Avignon, and Padua, where he immersed himself in the craft of mask, bouffon, commedia dell’arte, and the art of “beautiful stupidity.”
Under Theodore’s direction, Four-Eyed Theatre has spent the last three years touring outdoor work through networks like Applause Rural Touring, championing their company motto: “Pioneers of Monkeying Around.” Their work is driven by silliness, physical play, and a mission to reflect on social issues through joyful, accessible performance.
Theodore is passionate about making the outdoor arts sector visible and accessible to emerging artists. He believes the sector offers a vital and often overlooked route into professional theatre-making. Having benefited from support by organisations such as 101 Outdoor Arts and Turtle Key Arts, Theodore is committed to helping others navigate these pathways.
Currently splitting his time between France and the UK while completing his studies, Theodore and the Four-Eyed Theatre team are preparing to reunite full-time—planning to move into what they affectionately call a “big silly house” to take their passion for street theatre from part-time hustle to a sustainable career.

Daryl is an active advocate for improving the rights of disabled and marginalised people by promoting access and inclusion within the arts.
