Since 2001, Vocal Motions Elastic Theatre has specialised in the creation of new texts, integrating vocal music and contemporary choreography. Our productions are increasingly known for their boldly stark and highly stylised stagings, presenting theatre in its most naked and direct core. Our work is supported by The Facility: Performance as Research at London Metropolitan University, where we also base our research practice.

Since 2005, Elastic Theatre’s productions have focussed on contemporary re-visitations of well known characters from classical literature and mythology, radically deconstructing and re-evaluating their narrative roles, as well as exposing the cultural issues hidden in their traditional depictions. More recently, our work has focussed on the creation of music theatre and contemporary opera through improvisational methodologies and collaborative devising.
