THAT DARK HORSE
Theatre and Performance that engages audiences in unexpected ways.
That Dark Horse is a newly established theatre and performance collective based in Leeds and Birmingham under the direction of Antonia Beck and Andrew Roberts. We have a shared desire to work as an evolving, interdisciplinary arts collective and create new work in all sorts of different forms and contexts. Everything we make is devised collaboratively and is led by ideas and research.

Horses need companionship!
Today has been a bit lonely day for That Dark Horse as I (Antonia) was left on my own in Lincoln whilst Andy returned home for the day.
I spent the morning working with a contemporary fine art student called Kim, and we started creating an interaction which will be shown as part of our headphone journey this weekend. I then confined myself to the Tower Bar on Brayford Poole to catch up on admin.
Looking forward to Andy returning tomorrow and the fun and games continuing in Lincoln!

That Dark Horse
We have been working pretty hard at setting up That Dark Horse over the last two months. We've been putting in submissions for work in all sorts of contexts.
In september we will set to work on our new performance piece (working title)Missing, a performance that fuses verbatim stories, fictional stories, movement, story telling and puppeteering to tell the many stories of people that have gone missing, people that miss other people and stories from people who have been reunited. We aim to create a poignant performance that is surprisingly humorous and raises awareness of the often underrepresented issue of missing people today.
