collâge
theatre collâge explores the break-down of societal barriers and traditional theatrical convention through a collection of moveable, modular and ergonomic structures which make up a ‘town within a building.' this shifting performance landscape allows fragments of peoples and activities to meet under one roof. collage informed a spontaneous approach to spatial planning and multifunctional public space throughout, Ultimately, the technique (and mindset) allows us to work with 'what we've got' - theatre collâge makes a spectacle of the banal !
