ARTISTIC POLICY
Shared Experience creates theatre that goes beyond everyday lives, giving form to the hidden world of emotion and imagination. Shared Experience has pioneered a distinctive style that unites both text-based and physical theatre. At the heart of its work is the power and excitement of the performer’s physical presence and the unique collaboration between actor and audience: a shared experience.
