Looking for a collaborative space to explore theatre translation?

Join us for an open, practical lab session on the art of translating for the stage. With over fifteen years of experience sharing world theatre, including nine UK/world premieres and contributions to over 30 new English translations, we’re excited to share our journey and insights with you.

Our Theatre Translation Lab sessions are shaped by the participants. This one begins with a practical exercise to get us thinking and talking, then opens up from there. Bring a translation challenge if you have one, questions around staging plays in translation or simply come ready to explore.

Led by Co-Artistic Director Trine Garrett and joined by Associate Artists, translators Charis Ainslie and Paul Russell Garrett, the session combines practical exercises, real-world reflection and space for discussion and exchange. A great opportunity to hear directly from practising translators who have been part of our translation journey.

Ever wanted to grab a coffee with us and dig into the questions that don’t always come up?

We’re back with another Coffee Chat, and this time we’re joined by Associate Artists Eugenia Low, actor, and Ria Samartzi, director and dramaturg, who have been working with us for nearly a decade.

Together we’ll open up a conversation about leadership, collaboration, and what it really takes to sustain a creative practice – with honest reflections from us and our Associate Artists. We’ll share some snapshots of our journey and move through a few practical exercises to spark exchange and connection. Come with your questions, your experiences, or just your curiosity.
