Artistic Rebellion

Artistic Rebellion is a playful, political and multidisciplinary theatre company, making new work about inequality, social norms and human connection. Based in Sweden & England, Artistic Rebellion create heartbreakingly raw, surprising and entertaining shows with an international outlook. Artistic Rebellion was formed in London by Linn Johansson and Matthew Coulton in 2019. Both received a rigorous training from the Complicité-associated BA (Hons) Acting: Collaborative & Devised Theatre course at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, as well as post-graduate training in Sweden. They bring their experience of ensemble, devised and physical/movement based theatre together with new writing and original music, creating a process based on collective, interdisciplinary and international collaboration. Working with psycho physical techniques influenced by Jacques Lecoq, Michael Chekhov, modern neuroscience, Kristin Linklater, and others, Artistic Rebellion strives for telling imaginative, diverse and unheard stories. Previous productions (“Lillhjrtat och Gosedjuren” - Varberg Festival 2018, Sweden; and “Made From Love” - first developed as part of Fertility Fest 2019 at The Barbican, London, and then performed at Camden People’s Theatre, London in 2020) have been described as “awe-inspiring”, “brave” and “funny”.
