For When The Light Leaves, the importance of co-creating the visual world through conscious identification of key visual metaphors became particularly important for making sense of the play.
Citizen Theatre is currently seeking an actor to join our next project, Mara KORPER playing at Theatre Works May 20-31st 2020.
It’s vitally important to create wonder and beauty to nourish our souls, but equally vital to create safe experiences of the unknown, that defy our expectations, surprise us and require our imagining bodies to participate.
Forgotten Places – our first ever immersive experience and first ever fully and completely devised interdisciplinary work closed this time last week. It was such a whirlwind, as short seasons always are, so it has taken a little time to process what happened and why it was such a fulfilling project.
