ARTISTIC POLICY
dreamthinkspeak was founded 1999 and is based in Brighton. The company mixes live performance with a variety of media within a range of settings to explore the major issues confronting our contemporary world. Their site-responsive productions are re-created afresh at different sites and remain in constant evolution. The company is committed to creating theatre that is formally and thematically challenging but accessible, engaging an audience in a theatrical journey that challenges perspectives of the world around them.
REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘While people all over the country are watching TVs, in an old abattoir in Clerkenwell a lucky few are being ushered down the stairs into a dimly-lit space of flickering dreams.’ The Sunday Telegraphn ()
‘Dreamthinkspeak is an extraordinary company, creating site-responsive theatrical experiences that make you feel as if the bricks are speaking to you.’ The Guardian ()
‘One of the most original and thought-provoking dramatic inventions I've seen in years.’ The Australian ()
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Inspired by the life and demise of a 1950s socialite. A dreamlike recreation of a bygone era, set along a fictional hotel corridor and deftly mixing film, installation and live performance. (15 mins in repeated loops, 6 on the road, site-specific.)
A site-responsive piece inspired by the characters of Chekhov, examining their lives from the perspective of our present, while translating our modern world through the lens of their distant past. (80 mins in repeated loops, 25 on the road, site-specific.)
FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
We have several new projects currently in development. For further information, please contact the company.
WRAP-AROUND
Workshops that explore theatre as an ensemble of media, focusing on film, installation and live performance. There are also opportunities for local performers, technicians and design assistants to become directly involved in the productions.
