TAKDAJA

TAKDAJA means YES YES YES in Polish, Romanian and German!

They are an international experimental theatre collective that explores the body and space as raw performance tools. They don’t conform to conventional structures; instead, the collective creates by transcending within the world around them. They incorporate various techniques from individual training backgrounds such as psychophysical theatre (Odin Teatret, Grotowski, Michael Chekhov, Suzuki, Viewpoints), clowning (Wright, DeCastro, Sobal, Hopkins), improv (Groundlings, Improv Olympics, UCB), and science, in particular the field of genetics.

TAKDAJA seeks new ways of communicating with the audience to further push boundaries between theatre, live art, and film. They aim to create a theatre that’s not necessarily dependent on its storyline and which is accessible to those who may not always feel included by traditional approaches; a theatre with a pulsating core which embraces change and is not reliant on a specific theatrical space.
