ABOUT THE COLLECTIVE
‘Mutate' as a label seeks to capture the ever-changing and adaptive nature of the kind of work we produce; never conforming to one aesthetic, medium or genre. We leave room for the awkward and elegant patterns of expression that naturally accompany experimentation. There is a sense of multiplicity and duality that comes with the word, it is individual in its potential, fascinating yet embodied collectively in its journey.
Mutate Collective are the 22-25' Experimental Art and Performance (BA) cohort at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. Comprised of 22 individual emerging artists each with their own unique practice and discipline, our previous projects include Wildlands: An Immersive Experience at Ugly Duck (2023), Usher at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch as part of their Blueprint festival (2023), Mutate Inhabits: An Exploration of Mess at Chat’s Palace (2023), and Fractalia Festival at Toynbee Studios (2024). Our final project studying at CSSD, Mutate Evolves, will take place March 2025 in Royal Central’s Courtyard Theatre.
