“Theatre is for the rich. The Poor. For the loneliness. For the forgiveness.”-SONIATEUBEN,ENSEMBLEMEMBER,EXTRACTFROMANESSAYFORIMAGINEDTHEATRES2018

We reached a global audience through our professional theatre work and increased social cohesion in our community through excellence in artistic practice.

Back to Back Theatre is the only ongoing professional ensemble of actors in Australia. In the spaces between touring, Community and Education Programs, advocacy and leadership, we create work over many months and sometimes years, ensuring deep connection to and understanding of the material we explore. Our creative processes are unapologetically lengthy and resource intensive: our success results from investment where it matters.

Our Community, Education, Residency and In-Bound Artists Programs provide a crucible for new ideas and inter-disciplinary practice. Work is created from a series of intersections between our artists’ lived experiences and obsessions. The process is a dialogue that unfolds verbally, physically, aesthetically, and intuitively. We invite disruption, poetry, pop culture and vulnerability.

Our objective is simple: to effect positive social change via artistic programs of excellence. The program is the nexus for new ideas and exploratory projects in our company, building social connections through exemplary arts experiences.
