The NACL creates innovative original work that is ensemble-based, utilizing devised methods of creation, heightened physicality, and song to create vivid theatre experiences. We draw from a continuum of experimental techniques that includes the ensemble work of Denmarks Odin Teatret, Canadas Primus Theatre, and the research of Jerzy Grotowski.Over the years, we have built upon these sources to develop a unique approach to training and creation technique that awakens each artists potential to maximize the expressive use of body, voice, imagination, experience, memory and intellect to create compelling new works for the theatre.
