Frantic Assembly Visit BISA

Last week we had the incredible opportunity of working with practitioners from Frantic Assembly . Frantic Assembly is one of the UK's best known and most successful theatre companies. Frantic Assembly's unique physical style combines movement, design, music and text. Frantic's beliefs are built on the notion of collaboration. There is a great sense of ensemble work evident in all that they do. We study their techniques as part of our curriculum, so having two of their practitioners come to work with us for two whole days was hugely beneficial and exciting! Some comments from the students who took part:

'They were amazing. They gave us insight into different ways to use the stage and our bodies for performance' 

'Really productive. Loved it. Would do it again'

'It gives you more experience in working with new people'

'Very new insights. More outside the box thinking being utilised'

'Expression through movement'

'It changed my mindset and helped explore the world of performing arts from a different perspective'
