In the tension between the classical and the mundane, Betyl seeks to create work that places the audience at the heart of the unfolding action. With the simple belief in the empathetic act of adaptation, our work hopes to generate a more complex understanding of text and space. 

Betyl’s first collaborations emerged out of a rigorous physical practice. Our company members have trained with the SITI Company, Kameron Steele and the Suzuki Company of Toga in Japan. Having worked in numerous international contexts, we have created a theatrical practice that is immediate, attuned to image and rhythm, and moves beyond the limitations of language. 

We have developed a series of site specific pieces, bringing audiences to an outdoor shower, a former fraternity house, and a crowded sitting room couch. Now, based in London, we continue to develop original and adapted work. Sometimes in dog crates.
