From a shared curry with a stranger to an epic 12-hour performance featuring 30 workers, we try to concoct an appropriate form for each Quarantine piece. We’ve invited audiences to sing a karaoke duet with a serving soldier, recorded an audio tour with shopkeepers, staged dance marathons, compiled an online compendium of knowledge, hosted family parties, taught Chinese cookery lessons, created a journey in the dark for one person at a time… And, of course, made theatre on stages for audiences in seats.

Our work responds to the world around us, and what’s happening in our own lives. It always begins – and often ends – with the people in the room and a set of questions. Our process is long, discursive and collaborative – we work out together what to do next together. It’s a form of mass portraiture, building fragmented pictures of people and the places they happen or choose to share. We try to embrace the clumsy imperfections and contradictions of being human. We’ve got no time for slickness or dogma, in any guise.
