#Ad infinitum theatre full
It’s full of imagination, improvisation, repetition of virtuoso routines until we absolutely nail it. Discovering challenges that need a solution – and then tripping upon that solution in an unexpected way. Passionate people striving and working hard, pouring heart, soul and sweat into something they believe in. Sometimes loads of laughter, sometimes exasperation. What’s a day in the Ad Infinitum rehearsal room like?
We’re continually exploring how theatre can be a force for social change, how a live artistic encounter can provoke and awaken, and how artists and audiences can make a real difference. While our shows are all very different, they’re also connected in their interrogation of social and political themes through storytelling, bold theatrical styles that best serve the narrative, and a visceral physical experience. Interesting you should ask that… we’ve been taking some time to look forward and back, understand where we’ve been, and where we’re going next. Is there a common thread running through Ad Infinitum’s work? In 2018 we were asked to be one of their creative associates – so our relationship continues to grow and strengthen, and for us that means a lot. We have been supported by and collaborating with The North Wall since… wow, I can’t even remember – for AGES! Perhaps as far back as 2009? From the moment we entered the building the team have been so kind, generous and supportive – everyone from Clive helping with all things technical, Amy and Sherrell working hard behind the scenes, Lucy who first took a chance on programming our work and went on to pastures new, and now the wonderful Ria and John who are leading the venue in all sorts of new and exciting ventures – it’s not just a building, it’s a really lovely team of people committed to what they do. Could you describe your relationship with The North Wall? We spoke to Co-Artistic Director George Mann about what makes an Ad Infinitum show, and the company ’ s first short film, commissioned by HOME. Based in Bristol, they have toured extensively both nationally and internationally with work including Translunar Paradise, Light, No Kids and Extraordinary Wall.
The company has been challenging the status quo of the cultural landscape since 2007, daring it to embrace difference by demonstrating that collaborative ways of working fundamentally enable a more representative theatre culture to exist. They work with artists, activists and communities to create transformative theatre, revolutionise audiences and change the world. We are very proud of our North Wall Creative Associates: 10 individuals and companies with a special relationship to The North Wall, representing the best and brightest of UK Theatre.Īd Infinitum collaborate to tell stories, play and disrupt.
