Knowledge Base

Trajectory Theatre’s Knowledge Base is a place for ideas, how-tos, ramblings, criticism and pretty much anything relating to theatre, virtual reality and narrative in action. For the moment, it largely represents the varied musings of our Artistic Director but, ultimately, we hope it can operate as a platform where all our charitable objectives can meet: education, open discussion and debate, learning, the dissemination of ideas, and the development of the creative and virtual arts.

We Want to Hear From You

Up to now, we have been ploughing away at the Knowledgebase on our lonesome, in the dark, but we want more voices – we welcome more voices. Do you have something to say? If you are interested in writing, as a guest contributor, please email connect@trajectorytheatre.com. Please note that all contributions are made on voluntary basis.
