Radix Theatre Information

Our mandate is to foster the creation and production of original and socially relevant work. The company primarily creates interdisciplinary performance but also ventures into other media, focusing on experimentation and collaborative creation. Radix is comprised of five Artistic Associates who collectively determine company projects and direction, facilitated by Artistic Producer Andrew Laurenson who is also one of the Associates. Radix Theatre has created many ambitious performances over the years incorporating dynamic physicality, seductive visual design, and provocative content. The company has created a new production at least once every year since its inception, inspired by issues such as environmental degradation, sexual repression, car culture and terrorism. Most of our work is site-specific, experimenting with the audience’s relationship to the performance. Performance locations include an inner-city field, a tour bus, a diner, an underground garage, a downtown office building, a parking lot with audience members in their cars, and IKEA.
