THe company

Box House Theatre Company is celebrated for its distinctive approach to Platform Theatre, building a lasting presence across both educational and professional sectors. 

Specialising in unconventional, high-quality ensemble-based theatre, Box House aim to break down the traditional approach to theatre creation, in turn, making theatre an inclusive, engaging, and accessible experience for all. 

 

Platform Theatre emphasises the raw power of storytelling through a stripped-down aesthetic which not only pushes the boundaries of traditional theatre, but also makes the theatre art form more accessible by stripping away the reliance on set, props, costumes, and technical effects. 

 

We stand as proof that impressive theatre should not be restricted to budgets, resources and opportunity, and that “boundary pushing theatre” is born from imagination and creativity alone. 

  

There is much to learn through our approach to theatre creation and through our variety of workshops and training programs, Box House introduce aspiring artists to the principles of Platform Theatre, encouraging them to explore creativity without the reliance on budget or resources.

This focus on the essentials of theatre—acting, voice, and movement—has shaped the training methods in many schools across the UK, where students are encouraged to think about what they have, as opposed to what they need.  

 

Our style is not for one, but for all.

THE CO-FOUNDERS

OF BOX HOUSE THEATRE COMPANY

LEWIS
EVANS

"Box House’s central values are built from experiences of growing up and working within theatre. As humans, we’re shaped by what's around us however, what was around me in terms of theatre was things that I felt I could never create or achieve. This was something that stuck with me in that there should never be a boundary within theatre - there are just different starting points. It’s what we do with those starting points that shape our art.

We took this value and embedded it not only into Platform Theatre, but into any theatre production we work within. You can create great theatre with a huge budget - but you can also create incredible theatre with a couple of theatre blocks and that standard is not exclusive to any starting point".

AMY
FIELDING

“Box House Theatre Company was formed to prove that great theatre doesn’t come from big budgets or elaborate sets—it comes from people. Growing up in a school where there were little to no opportunities within the arts, no resources, and no exposure to external practitioners, it still feels like a miracle that I ended up working in the performing arts industry. That experience is exactly why the work we do now is so important to me.

 

Through Box House, I love being able to give students and young theatre makers the opportunity to create and perform theatre that costs nothing—something I know I would have benefited from immensely as a young performer".
