About

The company has been working since 1998 and has performed at theatres, arts centres and festivals within the United Kingdom, additionally touring to Athens, Amsterdam, Paris and the U.S.A. to appear at international festivals.

Fluxx organised the first U.K. mixed art form improvisation festival, Shifti, at Warwick Arts Centre and Coventry Centre for the Performing Arts featuring Julyen Hamilton, Art and Shock (Kazakhstan), Forced Entertainment, the London Improvisers Orchestra, Andy Eninger and many others. This took place in 2005.

The company runs occasional weekends for actors interested in improvisation practice in London. These are led by Chris Johnston or other company members. We have in the past brought in other teachers such as Guy Dartnell, Lois Weaver, John Wright, Kevin Tomlinson or Neil Mullarkey to run one-off workshop events.

Fluxx has defined a territory of research and practice which is some distance from comedy impro being more concerned with character, storyline and thematic content. You can read more about the long-form structures Fluxx has developed by going to the Productions page.

(Experiments in Spontaneous Performance) was a collaboration managed by Fluxx between 2003-8 which combined dancers Rick Nodine & Gaby Agis, actors Chris Johnston, Mark Phoenix and Dany Allen, and musicians Rex Hossi Horan and Alison Blunt. The ensemble performed at various venues in London and toured to the Improvisation Festival in Nice, France.

Chris Johnston, the Director of Fluxx, has written three books dealing with improvisation practice, which you can find more details about on the Actor Training page.
