ABOUT

MindTwitch
Collective

MindTwitch is an interdisciplinary theatre collective that blends physical theatre, polyphonic vocals, dance, immersive projections, live music & soundscapes generated in real-time through Ableton, and masks work. The group was founded at the beginning of 2024 by Patrycja Szumacher (director & playwright), Karolina Palica (vocal lead), and Lucy Fourgs (physical theatre lead) with an intention of initiating an Interdisciplinary Theatre Lab and applying for grants that could fund future projects. Currently, the collective has 3 core members, 7 part-time members, and a network of associated artists from many disciplines that are eager to contribute their skills to future productions. In May 2024, the MindTwitch Collective run its first 2-week long theatre laboratory, allowing the group to come together, get to know each other, and come up with a collection of research topics that could be formed into consolidated theatre projects, once a funding is secured. In October 2024, a second laboratory will take place in Berlin, focused on writing, sound experimentation, further funding education, and expanding artistic network.
