Theatre Company
Filigree Mask Theatre Company is a separate entity from the School of Acting and specialises in bringing site responsive, intuitive and original theatre productions to engage communities, enhancing connections through participative and verbatim performance.
Our most recent work Beautiful Serendipity, focused on engaging communities in creative expression to empathetically communicate, therapeutic sharing and increased quality communication.
Written using poetry submissions from across a community, these poems were edited and woven together to create three unique stories on the human condition, and the creative power of expression to process emotions & ultimately heal.
Beautiful Serendipity was performed by our professional cast with a bespoke score composed by Daniel White, Film Composer.
