“The most innovative and progressive theatre company around”

The Times

Frantic Assembly is a world leader in devised and collaborative theatre. Whether participants are students, teachers, artists or people of any age, everyone benefits from building skills, confidence, bravery and – ultimately – creativity.

The accessibility of the Frantic Method has empowered and inspired people to participate, educate, collaborate and make ground breaking new work. We are excited to present this unique opportunity for students and teachers to experience being in the rehearsal room with an international practitioner from Frantic Assembly. 

What is ‘The Frantic Method’: 

  • It is approaching devising as a series of tasks, broken down into building blocks.
  • Encouraging performers to take a moment back to its simplest truth.
  • Then using those building blocks to empower them to find and create.
  • Developing a language that is accessible and honest.
  • Helping performers understand how their bodies tell stories.

The Frantic Method is at the heart of all of Frantic’s work on stage and in studios across the world. Check out their work on Fatherland, Things I Know To Be True, Othello, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
