Playography is currently undergoing an essential rebuild, technical update and maintenance. All updates are on hold until the rebuild is complete. We are continuing to work hard in the background and are still accepting submissions which will be complete in Autumn 2023. For more information visit ITI's website.

OVERVIEW

  • Description

    Operating Theatre creates performance-based work with music as a core element. Founded in 1980, the company has produced a diverse portfolio of work including the integration of music technology with original composition, found and commissioned texts and live performance. The work has been presented in both conventional and non-theatrical environments.

    Operating Theatre is no longer in production. An online archive of the work is available on the website.
