TWISTED TALES
BOX HOUSE THEATRE COMPANY - THE WORLDS ONLY PROVIDER OF PLATFORM THEATRE
Overview
Platform Theatre is Box House's innovative new style that challenges actors to perform within the confined space of a gym mat, creating a truly unique theatrical experience. In this dynamic format, actors rely solely on their physical presence and voices, without the assistance of props, sets, costumes, or sound. This minimalist approach compels performers to harness their creativity, using only their bodies and vocal skills to tell compelling stories.
With Platform Theatre, students will showcase choreography, meticulous attention to detail, and vibrant characters through minimalist performance techniques. When mastered, this style empowers your students to transport audiences to distant worlds in an instant, making every movement and word count.
Moreover, Platform Theatre encourages students to experiment with multi-rolling, caricatures, mime, and choreographed movement, allowing for a rich exploration of character and expression. This fresh approach not only nurtures creativity but also opens up new avenues for storytelling, making it an exciting addition to their theatrical toolkit!
