The Thursday Group is a Melbourne-based theatre ensemble. In psychophysical theatre slow-burn laboratory we co-devise actor's theatre. Co-facilitated by Matthew Crosby and Tessa Marie Luminati, we explore Suzuki Training, Grotowski, Michael Chekhov and our own variations in the Small Hall North Melbourne. We are interested in an open conversation with the Melbourne community, our peers, students, teachers, theatregoers and with our friends around the world. Come join the conversation!

Currently, the group is developing Falling Heads—arising from Akutagawa Ryunosuke's 1917 The Story of a Head That Fell Off, using our psychophysical practice techniques, the play investigates the colonisation of tribe by tribe, the ideological control of the body, and the dream of a united persona. Next showing on 4th and 8th July—bookings here.
