Massive Theatre Company is one of Aotearoa's oldest theatre companies, founded in 1991, and it makes physical theatre based on the personal stories of the people who create it. It runs a pathway for young people: free Foundations workshops for ages 15 to 25, open to beginners, and Essentials workshops for ages 20 and over. Its Massive Nui Ensemble offers training for ages 16 to 30, and Teaching Artists can train to lead workshops. There are also tailor-made workshops for secondary schools, international programmes, professional development for teachers and an annual professional production. The company says its free workshops depend on donations from patrons. The company is at 562 Richmond Road in Grey Lynn, and its office is open Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5.30 pm. Visitors who have written about the company describe a welcoming, hard-working team, and a studio space with a shared kitchen that serves coffee and tea. The company has said it has received difficult news from Creative New Zealand, and it has published a public statement about what comes next.
