ARTISTIC POLICY DV8 Physical Theatre's work is about taking risks, aesthetically and physically; about breaking down the barriers between dance, theatre, and personal politics and, above all, communicating ideas and feelings clearly and unpretentiously. It is determined to be radical yet accessible, and to take its work to as wide an audience as possible.
