Since 2009, non zero one – a London-based collective of artists with a background and interest
in theatre but working across media and performance disciplines – has devised a series of
unexpected, challenging but also light-hearted and inviting experiences of immersion. Whilst
embracing a variety of techniques and contemporary media, one of the key features of the
company’s work is the exploration of audience interaction through the use of headphones,
typically in promenade and/or site-specific performance contexts. Following a first section that
questions the role of voice in (theatrical) sonic immersion, the text unfolds as a dialogue
between practitioner-scholar Konstantinos Thomaidis and non zero one artist and theatre
director Sarah Butcher. The interview lends an attentive ear to the role of voice in the
company’s work, from pre-recorded instruction to live audio interaction.
