Do It Theatre is the collective name of the performance, puppetry and animation work created by Steven Fraser. Do It Theatre create performance events for autistic people. Some involve zines, comics, animation, kinetic art and puppets. These events and zines are called Private Plays. I have been awarded a New Emerging Theatre Companies Award from New Diorama Theatre in London, a Small Grants Award from the Tom McGrath Trust project funding from Creative Scotland and a Starter for Ten Award from National Theatre of Scotland to create this work. I have also presented my zines and comics at zine fests and events throughout the world.
What Are Private Plays?
Private Plays are immersive performances where the audience read illustrated theatre scripts in installation spaces. The scripts are presented as Zines. The scripts are developed to be read in the installations and the illustrations spark the readers imagination. It’s site specific theatre without performers and mood lighting, obtrusive music and uncomfortable stimuli. Private Plays open up storytelling to a new audience. The installations feature artwork, projected animation, illustrations and puppetry.
The play scripts and zines are created for all to enjoy regardless of the readers background. All that is needed is the ability to read and have some imagination.
Private Plays appear at events, festivals and exhibitions. You can purchase our zines at our online Zine Shop.
