KINETIX THEATRE PRODUCE ACCESSIBLE, INTERACTIVE, ACTION THEATRE
Kinetix Theatre has been a concept since the group formed. As highly creative and physical people, there were always ideas on the back burner. In 2008 we put those ideas into practice, and formed our own Theatre Company, producing our own style of unique shows.
We wanted to bring theatre back to the masses, and make our shows accessible and entertaining to regular theatregoers and newcomers alike.
Incorporating the huge mix of physical styles, skills and actor training of our core cast, Kinetix Theatre produce original shows that feature Free Running, Stage Combat, Acrobatics, comedy and music.
After the main show, we break down the fourth wall in dramatic style as we discuss and demonstrate the skills involved in performance.
As part of our outdoor shows, we further this interaction by inviting members of the audience onto the stage for a workshop in the basics of all the skills that make Kinetix Theatre unique.
We feel that our 'Interactive Action Theatre' is an excellent tool to get the whole family involved in the theatre and physical activity.

After disaster strikes, the troop leap, tumble, vault, fight, sing and dance their way to finding the truth.
