About Us

In Tandem Theatre Company is dedicated to storytelling. We work to engage a wide and varied audience with performances that debate, embrace and reject ideas and most importantly tell stories that need to be told. In addition to dialogue we use live folk music and the modern chorus to bring a spellbinding physical life to myth. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do and we aim to get as many people involved in our projects as possible weather this is in the form of conversation, workshop, or performance, we believe that the insight of others and a subjective outside eye are two of the most important tools for artists who aim to create work of clarity and clout. Our insight and skill, lie in Theatre, its what we do, we work in an open rehearsal space with designers, composers, visual artists, non-artists, writers, friends, non-friends and anyone else who has a considered opinion or special understanding they feel compelled to share. The more we truly collaborate the greater depth and perspective our stories will have.

“We strive to move from one truth on stage to the next, not necessarily reality but truth” Di Trevis. As a company this is of particular importance to us. With a shared training in movement psychology, text, voice, and the potential of expression, In Tandem celebrates what the theatre is capable of. At the moment we are particularly interested in the notion of gender. Both in terms of the pressures ‘traditional’ gender roles place on society and in terms of how men and women are represented within the theatre industry. We pledge never to produce work that does not have at least a 50% female creative team, and will only create work that gives challenging roles, to all performers or roles that seek to subvert or confront a stereotype.

We believe we have the tools and methodology to challenge conventional story telling, the capacity to empower a wide and varied audience to engage with conversations, to debate, embrace and reject ideas. Most importantly, we have the power to tell stories that need to be told.
