Description

The Marlowe Theatre are delighted to announce that our first Resident Associate Company will be Accidental Collective.

Comprising Daisy Orton and Pablo, the Accidentals graduated from the University of Kent and were determined to prove  that you don’t have to leave the area to be successful. They have since gone on to become a driving force in the local performance scene, setting up Pot Luck, a showcasing event, engaging in peer-to-peer support and curating The Marlowe Scratch Night. In 2009, Daisy and Pablo became the first Associate Theatre Company of the University of Kent’s School of Arts, and last year, they won the Canterbury Culture award in the category of Cultural Pioneer.

As Resident Associate Company, Accidental Collective will co-produce a new piece for The Marlowe Studio, receive support from our teams, free rehearsal space and a platform for their work to reach a larger audience.

Daisy said: “We have been working in the region for the past seven years and this new relationship with The Marlowe is a fantastic opportunity for us. We cannot wait to get started with our new show.”

Accidental Collective’s first performance will be 'here is where we meet', a performance inspired by John Berger’s book. It runs from Tuesday 18 to Saturday 22 June (8pm, plus a 2pm Thursday matinee) in The Marlowe Studio.
