Round Table

Kirsty Gilmore in conversation with David Rosenberg and Glenn Neath of Darkfield.

We're all adapting our theatrical storytelling. In this round table we'll hear from three designers and creators at the cutting edge of this ever changing medium.

Glen Neath and David Rosenberg are the creative brains behind DARKFIELD RADIO a brand new innovative form of entertainment directly responding to the new age we are living in, immersing audiences in strange and curious worlds in their own home and bringing new meaning to the familiar spaces we inhabit.

They have been collaborating since 2012.

David co-founded Shunt to pursue an interest in the role of an audience in theatrical productions and directed all their shows: The Ballad of Bobby Francois, Tennis Show, Dance Bear Dance, Tropicana, Amato Saltone, Money, The Architects and The Boy Who Climbed Out Of His Face. Working with Frauke Requardt he conceived and co-directed The Roof, Electric Hotel and Motor Show, for which he used binaural sound recordings to allow the audience intimate access to distant spaces. David co-directed DeadClub - presented at The Place, and he is one of the team behind Wiretapper - an audio project hiding performance in public spaces.
