7TH SENSE THEATRE
WELCOME TO 7TH SENSE!
Seventh Sense Theatre is a registered new writing company making ‘class theatre, without the divide’.
We're driven by new writing, rhythm and breaking down divides, and making space for others to take risks and see what sticks. We make stories for and about people who can feel isolated or alone, try to give them a voice and, most importantly, take those shows to them.
Our first show MEMORY SOLDIER ran at the Camden People’s Theatre in 2018. In 2020, we were selected for Wildcard Theatre’s ‘Four of A Kind’ programme as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging companies, and in 2021 received ACE funding for the R&D of our current project DOG HAIR: A working class story of a mother and son dealing with grief and loss in the small industry-formed town they’ve been shaped by. Our work is supported in development by RECLAIM Project, a charity empowering the young working classes.
Seventh Sense was born at East 15, when a working-class Welsh jockey/boxer and a ballerina from Bucks' started making work together whilst studying on the MA Acting course.
So we're kinda like the theatrical Billy Elliot.
(get it?)
