What techniques does Frantic Assembly use?
The use of the body as the primary (but not exclusive) method for story telling. This can
include dance, mime, demonstrative movement, use of sound to create atmosphere and
mood, as well as dialogue. Music is very important in Frantic's work.

One of the most studied theatre companies, Frantic have an inimitable style
and have long delighted our audiences with their bold, collaborative and
dynamic approach.

Their work reaches far beyond the stage, with education and community
engagement playing a vital role in Frantic Assembly’s overall artistic vision, making
theatre accessible to a broad range of young people and aspiring professionals.
