Frantic Assembly was formed in 1994 by Scott Graham, Steven Hoggett, and Victoria Middleton, who all attended a university in Swansea, Wales. Although they weren't performing arts inclined, having no drama or dance experience, they were willing to learn and pass on what they had learnt to others.
They were inspired by other theatre companies e.g. DV8. The main style of the company is that of physical theatre combining movement, design, music, and text, of which they have incorporated into many stage shows such as the renowned "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time".
One of their most famous activities are "Chair Duets" which usually incorporate two people and two chairs creating movement, and sometimes a story from the simple movement they have created.
They also provide "Ignition" which is a training project for young men aged 16-20 in the style of Frantic.
They also travel around the world in order to deliver their style of theatre to more people through workshops.
