Analogue makes ambitious new theatre inspired by real stories and contemporary ethical questions. We collaborate with a wide network of pioneering thinkers to bring together research and invention and create performance that fuses the real with the imagined, the human with the scientific.
We are particularly excited by the possibilities of documentary, neuroscience, interactivity and new technologies and strive to continue to cross boundaries of continents and disciplines, embracing national and international arts organisations and audiences.
Analogue, formed in 2007, is an associate company of Farnham Maltings, and has produced a number of award-winning and critically acclaimed shows, including: Mile End (2007), Beachy Head (2009), Lecture Notes on a Death Scene (2010), 2401 Objects (2011), Re-enactments (2013) and Transports (2014).
Analogue’s work regularly tours the UK, and increasingly is being developed through international collaboration. Our work ranges in form and scale from stage-shows to audio tours, multi-platform experiences and intimate, interactive performances.
Analogue is an on-going collaboration between co-directors Hannah Barker & Liam Jarvis, Producer Ric Watts, Production Manager Helen Mugridge and Associate Artist Lewis Hetherington, working with collaborators from fields as diverse as neuroscience, social-psychology, pervasive media, computer aided modelling, movement, performance, scenography and playwrighting.
Analogue is an Associate Company of Farnham Maltings, where the company is currently administratively based, and Shoreditch Town Hall. Between 2010-12, we were also an Affiliate Company at the National Theatre Studio.
