THEATRE & PERFORMANCE
Obviously, the most well known theatre attraction in Canterbury is the Marlowe Theatre but we'd also like to highlight student performances and independent events too, especially now the Marlowe has closed down this year for refurbishment.

ACCIDENTAL COLLECTIVE
An emerging creative think tankfocused on experimentation, performance, live art and media.
"Accidental Collective is fascinated by boundaries and driven by a desire to push them. Our mission is to create original, engaging, live events that question the assumed roles of performance, audience, art, fiction and reality.
Within the expanding cultural environment of Kent, we seek to confront lazy theatre, lazy performers and lazy audiences, removing the blinkers and acknowledging the shared responsibility in creative action. Accidental Collective aims to use their innovative approach to performance in order to cater for audiences living in an age of microwave meals, Internet and reality TV. By exploring the limits of performance and devising new modes for its presentation we seek to engage with these audiences in a provocative way, interrogating their role within the live event. Searching for new strategies of visual, verbal and physical presentation, we will shatter conventions and hybridise art forms"
