Rabo de Foguete is an outdoor arts company based in Norwich, UK, with a focus on carnival, music and street theatre. Rabo is a platform for the work of musician and carnival artist, Marcus Patteson, bringing the spirit of carnival to a range of music-driven performances, from stage to parade and static street shows. Marcus seeks to bring theatre to carnival and carnival to street theatre, using the inverted world of carnival and carnivalesque to reflect and comment upon the human condition.​Originally focussed on a Brazilian-influenced, carnival band, Marcus is now working on a range of shows and projects in partnership with other artists, including Paul Goldsmith and Katherine Vince (Twisted Reality Productions), and Charles Beauchamp (Mandinga Arts).

NORCA & Sistema in Norwich exists to improve the social and economic wellbeing of Norwich’s communities. We do this by using music and the creative arts to engage, inspire, and build social mobility in the city’s most deprived and marginalised areas.
