The Bone Corporation

Bone Corp

Bone Corporation is the creation of writer, actor & fabulator Ade Andrews. Ezekial is his alter-ego made manifest. He made him do this.

Ade cut his teeth on the festival and alternative circus circuit playing regularly at Glastonbury Festival and at Edinburgh Festival in 97.

'Welcome to this wyrd and wonderful world... a place where nothing is what it seems.'

98 Ade felt compelled to create the Bone Corporation and produced 'Cabaret Macabre’ and toured with ‘Fakir Bone’s Circus.’

03 BC produced Nottingham's popular 'Guts & Gore Tour' followed by the 'Magic Lantern Tour' in 04, both with Ezekial as Nottingham's resident g host. Things were beginning to materialize.

07 saw BC gathering the 'Merry Outlaws' to rally folk to the cause of Sherwood Forest.

08 Ezekial conjured up the work-in-progress 'Zeitgeist.'

09 saw BC's tours developed along educational lines for the 'Gifted & Talented' scheme for Notts schools. Work was also finished on a DVD documentary on the ancient origins of Robin Hood (Reality Films), due for release May 2010.

Throughout all this time, Ade has also produced for others (see BESPOKE) and has undertaken industry work. He appears regularly on local TV and radio flying the flag of Nottingham, city and shire.

Official Outlaw

'Ancient Sherwood Forest
birth-place of England's folklore son
is once again calling
for people to stand as one.
As Robin Hood rallied the Saxon folk
against the Norman iron fist,
so now we rally everyone
to join us on our quest...'

The Spirit of Sherwood Forest

'I am a figment of your imagination,
I am a voice whispering to your soul,
I am the key to the land of the future,
Who am I? Ha!
I am the green spirit that dwells within us all!'

The Fugitive

'You can't keep good men down, my friends,
to this I will attest,
we're rising up to fight our foe,
from yonder green forest.'

From days of old to this here day
take heed of history's lesson,
our folk law says to make a stand
against injustice and oppression.'

The Devil's Advocate

'Brothers and sisters, welcome to my church,
this temple of words that I construct
as I exercise my imagination...
or is that exorcise?'

'It is my belief there is more to this life than meets the eye,
and so I search the parallels of myth and history
for the things that are hidden to be revealed to me.
Join me…
I have such sights to show you.'

- Glastonbury Festival Review 04 -'The spoken monologue was dark and compelling, yet had the humour and hyperbole of a fairground barker. The show pulled large enthusiastic crowds. The public simply loved it.'

Fakir Bone

'I am Fakir Bone,
Techno Fakir, conceptual pioneer... and Mental Health Warning...'

'...I'm on a one way trip,
a rollercoaster merry-go-round,
and I'm gonna take you along for part of it.
Who wants to be taken for a ride?!'

- Bizarre Magazine 99 - 'With Glastonbury approaching, we thought it prudent to recommend an attraction: Fakir Bone’s Circus featuring The Amazing Grizwaldo Melonpopicanpopie… It truly is a maelstrom of anarchy and subversion.'

The Self-fulifilling Prophecy of Ezekial Bone

'... and I was committed, like a monk in servitude,
keeping my mind free from the shackles of mundane life,
so I could soar into the great beyond,
so I could be... ultimately...
free.'

- Ezekial Bone 10 -'Read it and weep.'
