ABOUT US

Koro is a charity specialising in grassroots immersive, interactive, and site-specific theatre. We create, produce, and tour shows that place the audience at the heart of the storytelling experience.

We combine live theatre with portable set design and accessible digital technology to bring powerful stories to the spaces and people that need them most.

Our work centres on urgent contemporary narratives that reflect the society we live in and the history that shaped it. We believe interactivity offers unique ways to engage diverse audiences with complex topics, while approaching them with joy and playfulness.

How we work

We celebrate unique spaces, their untold stories and communities. Our team has experience creating theatre in the most unconventional locations - from theatres to museums, heritage sites, churches, courts of justice and elevators - and we’re always ready for a new challenge.

Audience care is essential to us: we aim to dispel the apprehension often associated with immersive and interactive theatre by creating playful, welcoming experiences for audiences and artists.

We are an inclusive theatre company: we co-create work in partnership with diverse artists and communities, and constantly work to improve the accessibility of our work.

Collaborators

We are a small team but work with a vast network of interactive and immersive theatre-makers based across the UK. For each project, we assemble bespoke teams that are representative of the communities we want to engage.
‍
We strive to celebrate the diversity of the world around us, amplify untold stories, and create opportunities for emerging creatives from backgrounds underrepresented in the immersive theatre sector - with a particular focus on migrant, global majority, and disabled theatre-makers.
