one step at a time like this

one step at a time like this is a group of artists based in Melbourne, Australia. They are theatre artists whose practice extends into areas of what is usually referred to as ‘live art’.

Their earliest works were primarily theatre works. These included original works as well as radical re-workings of classical texts, incorporating elements of contemporary popular culture.

Employing an expanded notion of theatre, one step works tend to be journey-based, mobile and immersive, with a strong focus on audience centrality. Works blend the everyday with a range of digital media and live interventions, allowing audiences to slip seamlessly between real-world locales and fictional/virtual worlds.

Company works often respond to a given site and situation, but are designed in such a way that allows the specifics to become a template upon which to re-create the work in another city, venue or context.

The desire is to create invitations, resonances and pathways toward a more engaged and particularized experience of both live theatre and living in the world.
