In 2004 I founded Teatro Vivo and led the company for the next fifteen years as the Artistic Director with the aim of playing with actor, space, audience and story to invite a new way of experiencing theatre. During that time I produced and directed over 20 shows that took audiences on thrilling immersive adventures led by incredible actors. And with talented writers, designers and often a community chorus of local folk involved too, these shows were magical collaborative experiences for all who experienced them.
Below is a small selection of some of the shows we made together.
"Almost anywhere is a possible stage for this most creative of theatre groups. The challenge they set themselves is to break free of tradition, reinterpret the classics and collaborate with their often youthful audience. It is a conspiracy to entertain and provoke that invites the onlooker to be co-conspirator. Absolutely not the West End. Take a raincoat." The Guardian
