WHAT WE DO
Skitzoid Productions aim to create challenging, entertaining and creative theatre that pushes at the boundaries of what can be done on stage.
Within this context, we want to create relatable characters and stories that speak about the human condition.
We love theatre and believe in striving for excellence in all areas of our work.
We are a multidisciplinary production company. Nothing is off limits as long as it is creatively interesting and serves the story we are trying to tell.
Our productions often draw on all or some of the following techniques:
Music & DANCE
All our shows feature songs, music and choreography.
We try to devise productions where there is a clear narrative reason for why our performers sometimes burst into song.
Our musical style draws on both classic musical theatre and more conventional pop music.
We use a mixture of backing tracks and live musicians during performance.
Projection
Our shows use extensive audio and video.
This helps expand the boundaries of our universe, creating a deeper immersive experience for our audiences.
We also use live streaming to heighten emotional intensity.
BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL
We view each production as a world building exercise, and are keen to find ways for audiences to become part of that world.
This helps to keep people engaged, and creates a deeper emotional connection between the audience and performers.
BEING FLEXIBLE
Although the basis of any show is a really strong script, we try to be open to what emerges during the rehearsal process.
We take the attitude that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, so we are happy to pull and stretch the work if it serves the story.
Everyone involved in our productions has a stake in the final product, so it’s important to listen to constructive criticism.
