WHAT EVEN IS COUNTERPILOT?
Counterpilot is an award-winning collective of interdisciplinary artists based in Brisbane, Australia.
Together, we create interactive performance works - activating audiences with new technology, rich design, and transmedia storytelling. Counterpilot seeks to transform the familiar, juxtaposing rich fictional worlds against a backdrop of the everyday.
By subverting real social circumstances, we co-opt our participants as authentic performers. In this way we are harnessing what we believe to be the most exciting thing about theatre - the live audience. Our works enable participants to observe themselves responding in real ways to hyper-real situations.
We seek to provoke change through acts of trouble, mischief and low-key chaos. We play in the space between people, and we poke at the tensions that bind us.
Counterpilot is directed by Nathan Sibthorpe. Our core team includes Christine Felmingham & Mike Willmett, with a constellation of creative conspirators including actors, designers, technicians, tinkerers and vagabonds.
Counterpilot projects have been seen around the country, including seasons at Sydney Festival, Darwin Festival, Brisbane Festival, The Festival of Dangerous Ideas, Next Wave Festival, Cairns Festival, and The Museum of Brisbane. We may not see you when you’re sleeping, but we know when you’re awake.
