This Is Not A Theatre Company creates site-based, interactive, multi-sensory, participatory dance-theatre that is smelled, touched, and tasted as well as seen and heard.
We use play (as both noun and verb) to foster critical thinking, multi-sensory full-bodied engagement, and radical empathy. Our work is not passively consumed; audiences co-create with us and, in doing so, actively practice creativity.
Our work is set in swimming pools, cafés, apartments, bathtubs, subways, ferries, closets, backyards, parks, kitchens, and more. We collaborate with artists and audience members worldwide.
Our goals are to expand the number of senses through which theatre is experienced, to expand the definition of theatre, and to make work with, not for, our audiences.
