No space in between: a case study of Theatrescience

Theatrescience was a theatre company founded by Rebecca Gould and the late Jeff Teare in 2004, with the intention of making theatre that dealt with current scientific ideas. The work involved hundreds of practitioners and scientists and thousands of audience members and students. The company created a body of work that developed new techniques in bringing together theatre and science, and left a legacy of plays, performances, workshops and discussions, which serve as a case stiudy for future work in the same field.
