Shaking the Tree seeks to meld the boundaries of theatre and visual art by presenting thrilling and unconventional theatrical experiences in our non-traditional warehouse space. Founded in 2003, and led by Samantha Van Der Merwe, STT positions itself at the intersection of innovation, activism, equity, and groundbreaking theatricality to allow audiences to experience a deeper, more active connection to the work.

Shaking the Tree classes

Shaking the Tree Studio is a laboratory for tomorrow's theatre makers. By using the same principles we hold dear for play-making, we seek to provide students with rich and varied literature, allow them to explore it through immersion, and witness them experience a deeper connection of thought, feeling, and action, as a result.
