Founded in 2006 by Sam Davison, Transit Theatre is a vehicle for the theatrical exploration of stories and ideas. For sharing the bits and pieces of thought and imagination through performance and play.
Based in Melbourne, Australia, Transit draws together artists and collaborators on a project to project basis, creating work by whatever means and in whatever style appropriate. Using the full range of forms, skills and techniques available, the idea is to create a ‘total theatre’ in which form is driven by content. Where a silent theatre of movement might be followed by the dense forest of a text-rich play. But most of all, Transit strives to entertain. To celebrate the energy, passion, and magic of live theatre.
As well as performance, Transit aims to engage in research and education activity locally and internationally, with the goal of maintaining an ongoing dialogue and exchange with artists and audiences around the world |
