Build . Break . Make

Shaking the Tree seeks to meld the boundaries of theatre and visual art by presenting audiences with thrilling and unexampled theatrical experiences. Founded in 2003, Shaking the Tree uses innovative ways to inhabit space and convey story, creating a heightened surrounding that allows audiences to experience a deeper, more active connection to the work.
Among Portland's best theatre companies, putting on a wonderful mix of classic and contemporary with an emphasis on the visual.

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.
