Practitioner focus: Scott Graham, Frantic Assembly

Since Scott Graham founded Frantic Assembly in 1994, he has created a range of artistic ideas and creative tools that have come to make up the Frantic Method, a strategic, creative and authentic approach to making theatre that he continues to develop. Graham's approach to theatremaking is grounded in exploration, but also creates a focus and structure that liberates performers and students to go beyond their perceived limitations.

Frantic Assembly believes in creating a foundation of simple accessible tasks and creative building blocks that gradually build in complexity. This can empower performers through a series of successes, but can also allow Graham as a director and facilitator the opportunity to fully discover the potential and possibilities in an idea.
