Back to Back Theatre
- workshop
Back to Back Theatre is in Europe, and even better, in Brussels ! During Kunstenfestivaldesarts, they are presenting their new piece Multiple Bad Things at the Théâtre National. Following their week of shows, they are giving a workshop at Cifas called Territorial Business. An opportunity not to be missed...
Territorial Business - Brussels
Part performance improvisation, part installation and design experiment, Territorial Business is a workshop co-led by Back to Back Theatre’s ensemble member Simon Laherty and Artistic Associates Ingrid Voorendt and Tamara Searle.
Some territories are formed by land mass, others by language, identity or politics. What about you? How do you use your language and body to undo territorial fictions? What is our imaginary around the notion of territory? What is yours? Do you share it with others?
Back to Back Theatre
Back to Back Theatre creates new forms of contemporary performance imagined from the minds and experiences of a unique ensemble of actors with and without disability, giving voice to social and political issues that speak to all people. Based in the regional centre of Geelong, the company is one of Australia’s most globally recognised and respected contemporary theatre companies. In addition to its professional practice Back to Back collaborates intensively with communities around the world, with a focus on artistic excellence and elevated social inclusion for people with disabilities.
