Design in the Basement
Using co-design to test the Basement’s purpose and vision in the wider NZ and international scene and assist theatre artists to shape their businesses.
Basement Theatre is a brave artistic and social enterprise in New Zealand, nurturing theatre artists to develop their methods and voice on the national and global stage. Basement is all about live, fresh experiences and discovering what is diverse and unique about New Zealand theatre.
I saw the opportunity to bring the rapid, highly physical problem solving and story telling skills of theatre production together with design thinking, while assisting theatre and artists to imagine and test ideas about the future and their own businesses. Happily, the wonderful crew at Basement led by Elise, Sam and Gabrielle saw an opportunity as well!
It’s early days, but the dialogue, debates and body storming have been invigorating and we’re about to start work on our first collaboration with artists themselves.

Independent project: Max Adler Ltd.
Collaborators: Lauren Hyland, Gabrielle Vincent, Elise Sterback, Sam Snedden.
