A Clinical Approach

Christchurch experimental theatre company The Clinic feature in this nine-minute profile. Inspired by ideas "stemming from a dream, a conversation, or even a costume", The Clinic created shows during the 2000s which often mixed live actors with prerecorded video. The group performed in abandoned buildings, nightclubs and online. Clinic member Anastasia Dailianis explains the company's free-flowing ethos. Featured are scenes from The Peculiar Case of Clara Parsons, and a show being developed at Christchurch Cathedral with writer Jo Randerson. Shot in 2004, this report screened on arts show Artsville in 2006.

With no set roles, the five member adapt their skills to fit the project, aiming to break the traditional theatre moulds.
