The Other Way Works
The Other Way Works creates daring and remarkable theatre that draws the audience into the very heart of the experience.
Based in Birmingham, we create highly interactive performance experiences, frequently for an audience of one at a time. Our focus is always firmly on an individual audience member’s experience of what we create, and we see the performance of the work as the offering of a gift to each audience member. Our work often responds to ’site’, and we find it stimulating and rewarding to create and perform our work in non-traditional spaces.
The Company's current show Black Tonic has been touring to rave reviews during 2008 and 2009, and we are about to start work on a new project for Warwick Arts Centre this Autumn.
The Other Way Works & The Darkroom
We had a fantastic time at the Dark Room in the spring of 2007. Working with our writer Clare Duffy opened up new horizons for the Company's work, and we have since collaborated with Clare as a writer on Black Tonic - our interactive thriller for hotels.
We used our time together to study narrative structure, and applied our new found knowledge in site-specific contexts throughout the house and the wider estate during our stay at The Hurst. The time and space to explore new ways to create theatre in a generous and relaxed setting gave the Company a real boost.
