It is about telling stories in a voice we don't always hear and about finding talent in places we don't always look. We began with little more than a fierce work ethic and a desire to do something different and to do it differently. The company is led by Artistic Director and co-founder Scott Graham. Our distinct creative approach has influenced contemporary theatre-making and foregrounded the use of movement directors and choreographers in new dramatic works.
It has inspired writers to embrace new creative processes and opened up actors and dancers to new techniques. This is a matter of great pride as we continue to do something different and to do it differently. I wanted to share a process that would take people past their perceived limitations. The Frantic Method is approaching devising as a series of tasks, each broken down into building blocks.
This is designed to establish progress from the simplest discoveries. Performers are encouraged to take a moment back to its simplest truth and build from there. This places dancers, actors, students, teachers and all participants on the same starting point. Using these building blocks they are empowered to find and create complex work through a process that is safe, fun and constantly illuminating.
