imitating the dog make performance work for national and international touring that experiments with the role of story-telling and narrative in the contemporary theatrical experience.

itd make innovative use of digital media, design and physical performance to create off-kilter worlds within which public and private obsessions - identity, death, love and sexuality - are explored.

Our educational programme is designed to provide students with the tools and inspiration to use theatrical means to engage critically with the texts and technologies that mark out their daily lives.

The current project Kellerman has been commissioned by ICIA, Bath, Nuffield Theatre, Lancaster, Cochrane Theatre, London and is supported by Arts Council England.
