imitating the dog

imitating the dog have been making ground-breaking work for theatres and other spaces for 20 years. They tell important stories that convey big ideas and are not afraid to take risks.

Referencing cinema and graphic novel design, their work fuses live performance with digital technology in a bold, beautiful way. Whether it be an adaptation of a classic novel or a film or a new story devised by the company, imitating the dog are always exciting and memorable to watch. We were delighted to welcome the company to the Playhouse for the first time in 2019 with a bold re-telling of Joseph Conrad’s classic novel, Heart of Darkness.

An extensive, year-round creative learning programme forms a huge part of what imitating the dog do. Designed to develop and share world-class digital technology skills for live performance, they deliver workshops and residencies in schools, colleges, universities and community settings.
