We facilitate artistic exchange between international artists for practice shares, workshops and networking events, aiming to expand the range of artistic languages in the U.K.

We create multidisciplinary performance that combines perspectives, medium and methodology, exploring theatre as a live art form. We produce live events that merge a contemporary aesthetic with an awareness of theatricality.

We run experimental workspaces for practice research, with a focus on building a non-hierarchical performance laboratory for the 21st century.

Arielle Zilkha is the Artistic Director of Psychonaut Theatre, and a multidisciplinary performer, theatre-maker, producer and composer. She trained on the BA Acting and Performance at Wimbledon College of Arts and MA Advanced Theatre Practice course at Central School of Speech and Drama. As a performer, she has performed in venues such as the Omnibus Theatre, the Finborough Theatre, and Camden People's Theatre. 

 

Arielle's work combines different performance disciplines, including song and dance, to explore the absurd, theatre as a live art form and means of deconstruction, and her positionality as a female Jewish-Israeli theatre-maker in London.  As the AD of Psychonaut, she strives to create a space for international performance practices to be explored and for an alternative performance scene to thrive in the U.K.
