Current Work

We are running a number of projects in South Korea, and are developing a programme and projects in the UK at the moment. To be kept informed of out progress, join our mailing list.

Our current projects in Seoul are:

The Melting Pot - a monthly evening to get together with other artists

The Shorts Show - a quarterly performace showcasing the best new talent

More details below.

The Melting Pot

A night for Seoulites with a passion or an interest in performance to turn up and spend the evening chatting together. If you have a specific idea there might be people to collaborate with, if not, just chat to people and see if there is anyone like-minded.

Taking place on the second Tuesday of the month at Roofers in Itaewon (the next will be 9th March 2010), from 7pm.
See map below.

It's not just for theatre in the traditional sense; dance, opera, performance art, musical theatre, puppetry, performance poetry, multimedia, improv, physical theatre and plenty more are welcome.

Actors, writers, directors, producers, practitioners, designers, we want you to get involved!

If you have an idea for a performance, but need people to help you, or if you are really wanting to work on something but don't know what's going on, then come along!

If you have friends that might be interested please invite them to come, the more people that are there the better it will be. Just come along and have a drink, you never know who you are going to meet!

The Shorts Show

You have your idea, you have found people to work with, you have enthusiasm exploding from your ears, what next???

Why not put together a snippet of what you have created in front of a loving audience?!

The Shorts Show is a night designed to provide an opportunity for individuals or groups to showcase or try out new work. Each short performance must last a maximum of 20 minutes. The idea is just to give it a go in front of an enthusiastic audience.

If you want to get involved, please email roots.korea@gmail.com, before 15th April, with the following details:

Contact number:

Name of performance:
(just a working title would be fine)

Number of people involved:

What is your idea:,
(explain in no more than 200 words what you would like to do with your 20 minutes)

At the moment in Seoul there are so many talented people. With these evenings, along with the Performers Playground, we intend to create a forum where that talent can be nurtured, giving people the opportunity to play with ideas in a safe zone, with no restrictions (except time!).
