Persona Collective is an ensemble of artists who explore intercultural, interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, and integrative practices in order to create new ways of working. The company situates itself in the realms of performance, media, and visual arts to create reimagined classical, new, or established theatrical works.
Persona’s ongoing investigation is to explore the synthesis of performance, technology, immediacy and space. We are committed to:
- exploring an eclectic range of actor training methods, with a strong emphasis on design, technology and performance making;
- creating new works using improvisation as key performance-making tools;
- adapting and reimagining established works through the process of performance making and technology;
- developing an ensemble of performers: dancers, singers, actors, theatre makers to work in a collaborative environment;
- research through laboratory style training and workshop sessions;
- performing works in theatrical and non-theatrical spaces.
Persona Collective is both a performance company and a laboratory; it explores and develops rigorous and highly energised performance training methods, fusing an eclectic fusion of integrative practices to create new training aesthetics. Spectators that enjoy challenging, expressive and experimental work will find the Persona Collective experience most rewarding.
