re:group performance collective
It’s brilliant. I can’t get enough of their work. re:group are easily the most creative and exciting theatre-makers I’ve seen in years. 5 STARS. ★★★★★ Cultural Binge
A must-see live cinema event…miraculously manufactured before our eyes by a mere trio of maker-performers. RealTime Arts
An extraordinarily inventive piece, one sure to send audiences out into the night with minds burning
with questions about the theatrical form, and with hearts relit with compassion. Theatre Red
At times it’s breathtakingly fast and very impressive…these are fresh and unafraid voices. RealTime Arts
A perfect example of why re:group is one of the most interesting theatre groups operating in Australia today. Theatre Travels
re:group performance collective is Mark Rogers, Solomon Thomas, Malcolm Whittaker, Steve Wilson-Alexander and Carly Young. Inspired by the highs and lows of pop culture, we work as an ensemble to mash theatre-making and movie-making together to create live cinema. Our aim is to turn the typically comfortable and passive movie-going experience into something immersive, irreverent, sweaty and live.
We are passionate about creating innovative work that questions the role and meaning of art in society, where the technology we use is core to the ideas in each work we make, which is typically ironic and sincere, and accessible and experimental, all in equal measure. Our current obsessions are loss, new technologies, difficult conversations, friendship, outdated media formats, labour relations and nostalgia. In 2024 we are presenting new work at Belvoir St. Theatre, Festival of Dangerous Ideas and Sydney Opera House.
re:group is produced by Malcolm Whittaker, with tour producing, management & assistance by Intimate Spectacle.
