about groupwork

“On the basis of this … the company appears to have arrived fully formed” - the times

groupwork is an award-winning Scottish based theatre company, founded by choreographer Vicki Manderson and director Finn den Hertog to create original work across a variety of forms.

After collaborating together on projects including the award-winning Light Boxes (Grid Iron, 2015) and Square Go (Francesca Moody Productions, 2018) Vicki and Finn decided to build upon their existing bodies of work to develop their own style of exploratory, multi-disciplinary theatre.

groupwork has an integrated, collaborative approach to creating new work; sitting at the intersection of dance, theatre and multi-media performance. our work is visually poetic, formally playful and thematically bold. Movement, image and sound work are at the forefront of our process.

We develop our work through periods of research, experimentation and play; collaborating with a shifting roster of artists including performers, playwrights and designers.

We have worked with a number of companies to support and develop our work. these have included National Theatre of Scotland, NTI, The Work Room, ThickSkin and Tramway.

our debut show, the afflicted, played a sold out run at Summerhall, edinburgh during the 2019 fringe festival and received a scotsman fringe first and the scottish arts club award. more information here.
