Klanghaus, a Bay Area based artist ensemble composed of a rotating set of collaborators and contributors led by Teddy Hulsker was founded in an Oakland living room in 2015. Though our offerings are structurally myriad they are thematically linked by a commitment to creative experimentation and building a robust artistic community in the Bay Area through a track record of monthly free events, co-created original works, and interdisciplinary collaborative practicums. Our ongoing programming has built connections across a vibrant mix of intergenerational, interdisciplinary, grassroots artists.
Founder and Artistic Director Teddy Hulsker founded Klanghaus in 2015. Born in San Francisco Teddy has dedicated his life to exploring, learning from and nurturing the Bay Area theater community. Known for his high-heel-wearing alter ego “The Showman,” Teddy also heads the Oakland-based country/punk band Big Purpose. Since 2009 Teddy has collaborated as a sound and projection designer with organizations like Marin Theater Company, Word for Word, San Francisco Playhouse, Shot Shotgun Players, Oakland Theater Project, NCTC, and Hope Mohr Dance since 2009. When not on stage or grabbing coffee with a friend Teddy fosters young imaginations through after-school Dungeons and Dragons programs, hosts Warhammer Tournaments and is fixture in the table top gaming community.
