ABOUT
The bold new face of theatre
What happens when a bunch of actors on a gap year get an idea? A disaster, and that's what this group are just finding out. ‘Disaster Class’ came together in the late summer of 2022 as something to pass the time. However, it has quickly evolved into a Theatre Company to rival the best. With fresh young talent from places such as The Brit School, National Youth Theatre, Rada and GSA this group is definitely one to watch. We have now existed for 2 years and have developed our identity as a collective of creatives. We want to make opportunities for ourselves and our peers and create inclusive theatre that pushes boundaries in an industry that often doesn’t feel inviting to underrepresented groups.
Following the festival they look forward to broadening their horizons, potentially competing at more festivals, creating original material, and even performing musicals. So keep an eye out for this young group and what's to come next.
A lot of collectives believe in acting for a reason but Disaster Class is all about acting for the sake of it because at the end of the day someone's gotta do it. However, it's this "might as well be me" attitude that sets them apart from the rest and lets them approach theatre with a unique perspective.
