Post Workers Theatre is a design troupe investigating the future of politically engaged performance, reimagining historic forms of creative resistance for a contemporary context.

PWT study and update historic workers’ theatre to address inequalities in the contemporary labour market and wider society. Through collective writing, performing, costume and stage production, the collective sets up opportunities for workers and communities to discuss and challenge their conditions and imagine them otherwise.

PWT have produced participatory and performative projects and exhibiting internationally with a variety of partners including: Lulea Bienalle / Hägerstensåsens Medborgarhus / Three Rivers / Arts Council England / Tate Liverpool / V&A London / Helsinki Art Museum / Barbican / Dundee Contemporary Arts / Critical Media Lab Basel / Cabaret Voltaire / Subtext Berlin / Create London / Athens Biennale / Kunsthal Viborg
