Alea Theatre

Alea Theatre company information, Employees & Contact Information

Alea Theatre comprises four graduates of Central School of Speech and Drama’s various Masters programmes. The company combines the individual skills and abilities of each of its core members to create the foundation for an eclectic way of working. This involves combining, colliding and melding disparate performance practices, texts and other materials; at the heart of their practice is an adherence to chance: the ‘aleatoric’. Alea Theatre takes its name from a performance-research project entitled Aleastory. Aleastory is derived from the notion of ‘chance story’ (aleatory), in which a fragmented ‘playtext’, comprised of various texts, may facilitate ‘narrative association’ and the emergence of multiple unique interpretations. Aleastory, performed at The Festival of... (CSSD, 2009), was their maiden performance. These origins have set a precedent for further research and company development. In March 2010 Alea Theatre erected an installation for a performance/art event called Home hosted by SJC Productions. In this show, audience members were invited into Qfwfq’s Room – an undecorated and un-homely bedroom – to help instil a sense of ‘Homeliness’, using a multitude of items from a cordoned off cache in the corner of the room. In September 2010, Alea Theatre staged its third original production: 'Antagone'. Antagone saw Alea Theatre’s trademark collision of disparate 'materials' return in the (con)fusion of Oscar Wilde’s 'An Ideal Husband' and Sophocles’ 'Antigone'. The first show in The Space’s (Isle of Dogs) “Canon Season”, 'Antagone' drew together two texts from vastly different eras and of distinct theatrical ‘styles’, in order to highlight – otherwise hidden – fundamental similarities. The company is due to begin work on its next original production ('After Aleastory') and other trademark research projects ('A Show of Hands' / 'Aleatext') , in the winter of 2010.
